Taking the code I found here, I have sucessfully created the first part of my home automation system.
It enables you to log on to an Arduino-hosted ‘site’ and switch on and off the 13 digital outs on the Arduino board. Easy enough…

Next on the list: User name and password authentication, Twitter updates, Facebook notifications, universal infrared remotes and so much more…
Peace out! :D
In my effort to get more aquainted with both Max5 and my Arduinos, I have started to look at projects that I can build using them both. My first idea is a binary clock – an idea that I thought might be quite easy. As it turns out, I was able to build a patch within about 2 hours:
To get a physical clock, all I would have to do is plug in some LEDs into the respective outputs of my Arduino…not all that difficult. However, I would like to eventually make a new clock concept, although practically every clock idea and variation of every idea has already been built.
Only time will tell…
