What API &amp; wireless protocol should I be looking into for my devices?</p> <p>Previously I've made Bluetooth &amp; ZigBee devices (a few lights &amp; a kettle), but I'm looking to go more &quot;standards centric&quot; both for portability &amp; so that other people can easily understand &amp; contribute other device implementations.</p> <p>Is the AutoHTN source available?</p> <p>Cheers,<br /> Greg </p> http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/topic/thermostat#post-133 Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:03:12 +0000 kimboinatl 133@http://www.yourhtn.com/htnforum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm interested in setting up a way to control my thermostat using my Android phone. What would I need to install in order to do this? </p>
