I recently had to give up the RPI for another project and decided to integrate this with a beagle bone black I have been testing with. In order to integrate I had been using a RaspberryPI (RPI) with LIRC, the RPI_LIRC driver, and some custom Perl CURL Scripts to control my lights. This is great for smartphone control but I still use a traditional IR remote for controlling my home theater system. This includes a near complete Z-Wave enabled house and a Vera Lite home automation controller One of my favorite hobbies is doing home automation.
