About PiHome and Its Evolution

Evolution

PiHome started with an idea of building some control over my home heating instead of having conventional thermostat which no ware near any accurate and merely have any control gas boiler let alone schedules or controlling any temperature at all.

After discovery to raspberry pi on google back in 2013 i started to look for projects on web for heating or home automation but non fit the bill so i had to get my hands dirty. After initial trials and error with python and WiringPi i was able to toggle gpio pins.

In Early days PiHome was only wired system with temperature sensors attached to Raspberry pi GPIO pin and zone and boiler connected via nRF24L01 radio module with simple on/off command using RF24 library. Since then PiHome has evolved and now support wired options GPIO and I2C, nRF24L01 and LoRA wireless module to control zone and boiler wireless network with help of MySensors library.
