Hi
Has anyone achieved or looked into Zigbee integration with MythTV for Home Automation?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZigBee Zigbee is a wireless system which is arguably more secure than X10 (Which to me can be simply
overcome by plugging into the mains of a external device such as a light....exposing the whole X10 system! Sorry X10!) A mains
filter is said to reduce security concerns however not the aforementioned exploit.
Zigbee on the other hand is a mesh network of low range wireless devices. It may be that it is a better network than the 802.11
series as the radio mesh can be localised to the area of interest with minimised wider broadcast capability / exposure.
Kind regards
The Tortise
