Basically an online remote.<br /><br /> Very basic at the moment and not very pretty.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14641356/rpi/piha.png" /><br /> 1-4 and All are a replication of the remote for my RF Remote Sockets. Currently only got anything attached to button 1. In theory using PiHAT you could have about 1,000,000 different remote sockets. When I own my own place I'll definitely be making the most of this in some way for lighting systems.<br /><br /> Motion Photo is linked to a motion detector. The detector is always detecting but when I turn Motion Photo On whenever any motion is detected the RPi turns on a camera, takes 5 photos, uploads them to my file server and puts the details in a MySQL database.<br /><br /> Take Photo does similar but just takes a single photo on demand, uploads it and sticks the details in a separate db.<br /><br /> Next step is to add my home stats page stuff to it. Temp sensors and motion detector on the RPi, router sync speed and the two RPi cameras I have setup.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14641356/rpi/pistats.png" /><br /><br /> The point of this?
