Louisville’s hackerspace LVL1 is working on a home automation setup for the space, and they call it MOTHER. Using open-source home automation software called HOLOS, the capabilities include:
* Monitoring of LVL1 Space Occupancy & Zone Occupancy
* Measuring of “Hacktivity Levels” of each Zone
* Monitoring of individual member occupancy
* INSTANT WOMP MODE! (dubstep everywhere at the press of a button)
* Notifications of “Abnormal” hacktivity levels
* Monitoring of various websites and notifications of LVL1 mentions
* Various “Nagging” (Take out the trash, It’s cold please shut the door, I haven’t seen you in 3 days, please come visit your mother, etc…)
* “Member Scenes” – Auto setting of audio, lights, etc.. based on specific members present
* Logging and Graphing of ALL data
* Voice recognition and communication
* Control of Lighting and appliances
* Security System monitoring and notification of alerts
* Phone calls and emails based notifications
* Google Talk communication with AIML chat integration
This is a really fascinating project and I look forward to seeing how it develops.

Should have gone with the Venture Brothers automation system M.U.T.H.E.R. Just don’t give it access to nuclear weapons..

WOMP mode?
Triggers dubstep.
Naturally!
Thx. :)

So glad I live in a city cool enough to have LVL1 and their MOTHER.
