JustGav1976 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Hi Peoples I was directed here by a friend of mine. Not a DIY'er as such but I do home automation as a hobby and I'm just looking at putting some bits together for my own research (yes, it is a bit of sad hobby) DWDave has been showing me his work with his Galaxy 60 panel, and the integration with Windows etc, so I'm thinking of trying to decode the serial commands (or finding out what they are), so I can put something on an ARM system ( beaglebone) to link into an openhab home automation system. All just research at the moment and not for profit That's about it /gav Quote

datadiffusion Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Hi and welcome - have you considered Texecom for your project, they appear to actively encourage HA devs? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands
JustGav1976 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 I'll look at the texecom stuff, I purely went with the galaxy as that is what he mentioned, and suggested that the test kit would be cheap to get. I'm not after spending a lot for something that will end up in my box of bits of playing Quote
PeterJames Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Hi Gav and welcome Texe historically is cheaper than Galaxy, not sure if this is still the case I dont sell either (much) Quote
dwdave Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Hey Gav, Welcome to the forum ! You're 'gonna love it here. I only recommend the Galaxy because its all I know - and judging by my posts - I don't know that much. DWDave Quote 'till the next question ...
JustGav1976 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but trying to look in the 'trading' section and it comes up as a protected forum. Membership fee or something? If so, let me know @DWDave, I guess I'll have to get both a small galaxy panel and texecom to play with Quote

JustGav1976 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Ah that's answered my question, I'm not in the trade, just a hobbyist... Where would be the best place to find some play kit? thanks Gav Edited July 17, 2015 by JustGav1976 Quote
