Ed's Internet Coffee House on the Hill presents a step by step study in various technologies using the Fedora Linux operating system in My Fedora Home Automation Project. Ed has been an electronic systems technician installing and servicing many types of technologies. He is going to share a wealth of information as to how things work and how to properly install them.

The initial configuration each special purpose PC that is going to be integrated into My Fedora Home Automation Project.

Once the Fedora Linux operating system and software has been updated, it's time to configure the PC to perform it's special purpose function in My Fedora Home Automation Project.

Please feel free to contact Ed for additions, additional information, or improvements to My Fedora Home Automation Project.

Home automation is achieved by integrating independent sub systems together so that they each can work together as one. My Fedora Home Automation Project will use various types of technologies and explain thoroughly how each is configured and installed. The majority of all devices will be easily obtained so anyone can reproduce a home automation similar to this project.

A brief study in the building blocks of electronic components to learn basic interfacing techniques and the basic electronic foundation that home system integrators will need to know to properly install and trouble shoot various sub systems within My Fedora Home Automation Project.

Scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or PHP play an important part in My Fedora Home Automation Project. They can be used for web applications or by the Fedora Linux operating system.

Ed Kimmel - Project Author & Web Master

Ed has had an interest in electronics from an early age when he discovered that there was a magic power inside dry cell batteries that caused light bulbs to light. He received a vacuum tube experiment lab as a Christmas gift one year while in elementary school and soon he was making vacuum tubes do all kinds of tricks. A few years later, he received a transistor experiment lab which further enticed his thirst for knowledge. He learned the basics of electronics. After high school he got a job working for the local security alarm company, a career he still is in. Technology changed and integrated circuits hit the seen and digital logic building block chips were soon packaged together in one larger chip called a microprocessor. This opened a new frontier for him, hardware designed had to be software run.... Fun.....

After years of using a Commodore Vic-20 he finally got his hands on a basket of old IBM 286 compatible parts and soon learned DOS 3.2 all the way through Windows XP and dual processor servers and most of Microsoft's software products.

He is now turning to the open source project of the Fedora Linux operating system and bundled software. As he learns, he will document every step and take all of his knowledge and experience with electronic systems and electronics to combine them into a home automation project like no other.
