Just starting out with home automation.
Can somebody recommend a system that has both off-the-shelf components and also provides DIY support (API, communication protocol, etc...)
Basically I don't want to re-invent the wheel and build the entire system from ground up, but I would like to be able to create my own controllable devices. I'm a ME/EE engineer with knowledge of embedded firmware so designing a PCB, implementing zigbee, etc.. doesn't scare me.
Thank you,
Boris.
