Earlier this month we had a request from a reader to setup a new forums facility for users to write up their home automation projects so others can benefit from their experience. So the “Projects” forum was born. To start us off there are now projects there from user jaffaon – Temperature Capture plus a two-part post on ripping / storing your DVD collection and then streaming the movies around your home. Join in and post your projects in the new forum…
