AUDIENCE

This project is mainly addressed to developers and tech enthusiasts, with the aim of becoming more and more friendly for everyone's use.
If you like this project and want to contribute, you can do this in many ways: sending feedback; reporting bugs; fixing bugs; improving/adding features; beta testing; suggesting new features; donating.

MISSION

* Developing an easy to use and generic purpose Home Automation Server that will have highly extensible/programmable features
* Giving a concrete common language "chance" to all "connected" devices and standards, humans included =)
* Building a "Do It Yourself" HG server box, based on Raspberry Pi, with integrated LCD, touch UI, user-selectable Display Widget and also supporting pluggable HW add-ins (1-wire sensors and other easy to plug devices) via a Common eXpansion Port
* Making HG boxes "talk" each other and interoperate

Some of these goals have been already accomplished (see CURRENT FEATURES).
