I would like more storage on the box .. so need to mount a USB drive. I can't however make this work. I see, from dmesg,

scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices

  Vendor: CBM       Model: Flash Disk        Rev: 5.00

  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02

Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0

SCSI device sda: 2068992 512-byte hdwr sectors (1059 MB)

I now have my O2 Joggler installed with xAPControl as a touch screen controller interfacing with HAH!

Makes for a perfect interface, makes HAH even easier to manage/monitor around the flat.

O2Jogglers are available on eBay for about 50-70 quid, have great touch screens and are powerfull enough to play TV, run Linux etc, they are also very easy to hack.

Little spooky but GoogleCal decided to send on Off notification to 2 of my RF modules today.

I don't have any GoogleCal calendar entries for that time.

The other 2 of the 4 that went off are bound to the first 2 through plugboard, so I would expect to see them follow suite.

Is this something to expect?  Maybe something that I can be handle with a Plugboard script?

How would people feel about setting up a Pachube feed list, it might give others ideas about what they can do with their HAH's, also comparing similiar stats might help people find better ways of saving energy, etc.  A quick search on Pachube for HAH finds 5 feeds at the moment, mine is http://www.pachube.com/api/feeds/8538.xml

Hi,

Just noticed that when trying to jump from one graph to the other using the drop down box, the graphs don't change as expected.  When I select graph 2, I get a blank screen until I hit Refresh and then I can't jump back to graph 1.

Cheers

Can we have a reboot option in the Webgui/Control somewhere?

I notice that somethings only work after a reboot.

Feature Request:

Allow for selection of a specific Google Calendar to use for HAH.

I've had a look and don't seem to be able to do this.  I imagine that the system uses the calendar for the login that I provide.  Could you expand the system to allow for a specific calendar to be selected.  I don't need/want for the HAH events to be in my normal schedule which is sync'd to my mobile etc.

I like the idea of the Arduino expansion.  I've just got my Arduino to send an xAP broadcast packet using a nuelectronics ethershield, the HAH then sends this onto Pachube.  It's using a programmed value at the moment, but I intend to change this to a temperature reading later this week.

Really enjoying playing with all this, keep up the good work.

Hi,

Great looking project and congratulations on a brilliant job putting everything together.  I'm currently trying to understand all the different elements of what you've accomplished.

Most of it flies just above my head, so I'm aware this will be quite a big learning curve for me, so I hope you don't mind a couple of low level questions.
