it seems this project is abandoned…the website gone
I made a backup once and put it online for those that want to continue the project : http://www.fonera.be/extras/fonhome/

you can buy these X10 stuff on http://www.intellihome.be and others

Wow this sounds really cool. I don’t own X10 stuff yet, cause I didn’t want my computer to be online all day long. This would be great for the electricity bills :-)

There are a few interfaces for the iphone and other technologies like Insteon or z-wave too - The isy99 can be viewed via a web interface and the smartlinc is designed for the small screen. I suppose this is a few months after the fonera came out though…

FonHome:
-Most X10 circuits are not bidirectional and they still being domotics. Even the state is controlled by the central system instead of each module.
-Of course, like other professional domotics solutions.
-Obviously you can add more staff like voice recognition managed by the central system and you’ll never need the switches anymore.

Whatever you say, it is domotics too.

i’ve seen this on hack5.
not using a fonera, but pc’s serial ports.

anyway, is the fonera capable of downloads torrents without restarting over and over again?

@pepe
I don’t understand what you’re trying to do, going from one forum to the other posting that message. I would appreciate that you first enter our website to learn what we’re working on, and then criticise.

Those ARE NOT domotic projects. They are mere switching relays controlled by RS232.
· They are not bidirectional (no feedback).
· You have to replace all your wiring installation
· Your current light switches would be useless

Are you trying to tell me you would install that in your house?

A long time ago the fonera worked with domotics:
