Project Noah
Noah (Network Of Automated Hardware) aims to create an easy to use Open Source Hardware device coupled with some Open Source software that will make it easier to create a home automation system. Paired with a Raspberry Pi the Noah hardware can form nodes that can be interconnected to control things in your home, office or remote sites.
