Home Automation Controol

This is the beginnings of a Home Automation Controller.

It uses the http://flask.pocoo.org/ micro-framework. You can start the server using:

python server.py

and then browse to localhost:5000/automation

Here's an overview of the basic classes.

Controller - A Controller can manipulate multiple Actuators.

Actuator - An actuator controls a solenoid, relay, or switch

ControllerType - base class for for a type of controller. Each controller type may have multiple controllers, and each controller may control multiple actuators.

The ControllerType derived classes come from the ControllerTypes subdirectory.

An example of a ControllerType would be an OpenSprinkler http://rayshobby.net/?page_id=160 board. There would be a Controller instance for each OpenSprinkler board, and an Actuator for each of the eight control lines that the OpenSprinkler controller can control.
