I … Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by Dani I assume your son is no longer a baby, but nowadays you can get Nest temperature sensors to put in different areas of your home. You can officially tell Nest to control the HVAC based on the temperature of the family room during the day and the temperature of the bedroom at night, for example.

Yes you can get those free standing mounts, but I don't have any. My thermostats are wired into the wall. It'd be cool if you could just pop them off the wall and stick them on a stand anywhere you like, but alas you cannot.

Re: Best Approach for Starting a Linux-Based Home Automation Pro Hardware and Software Linux and Unix by WilliamOG Great project idea, and you're already ahead with your electronics background. For the OS, Raspberry Pi OS Lite is a solid starting point—lightweight, well-supported, and ideal for headless setups. If you want something even more stripped down, check out DietPi or Ubuntu Server for Pi, but the trade-off is slightly less community support.
