For those interested, this is my pet project. (see attached diagram) I'm automating a few functions in the house and implementing a TrixBox phone system and media center.
Currently, the house is wired for Gigabit and WAP's are in place. Structured wiring panel is installed with hub. I'm looking for an OMNI controller. I've selected UPB as my light automation protocol. Security sensors are purchased and need to be installed.
Experiments with MythTV have been less than impressive due to general bugginess and the remote control I selected. LinuxMCE may be the next step.
The doorbell seems a little foo-foo at first glance, but is really critical. I can't hear the blasted thing with the A/C for my server rack in my office and I have people coming by regularly during the day. Installing three more doorbells seems a ridiculous option.
