    Arduino Yun

    It may be old news but I just bumped into it.

    wifi, webserver, linux api support

    the possibilities are endless!

    Thanks for your post. In addition to what you wrote, I notice it also includes a wired Ethernet port too.

    Setup is easy:

    So, soon after unboxing and setup, it could communicate with HomeSeer using HTTP commands....

    Nice!

      yup, wired and wireless network and it is compatible with the Arduino POE module as well. For under $100 bucks you have a POE powered network platform for your sensors. Not as powerful as a Raspberry PI but much cheaper when you add it all up. Shows REST API on config page around 2:00 minute mark of the setup video you posted. Should be able to pull data as well with http.

      The Spark Core looks interesting also. No wired network or POE though.

      Cool stuff.

        Great catch! Hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out.

        I don't suppose there's a REST API for HomeSeer, is there?

          Apparently there was discussion about this.

          http://forums.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=162820

          Should be able to script a call to the ardiuno device with http and update device in homeseer.

            I'm not sure what to make of that thread. I guess for HS2 (and possibly HS3 as well?), there's this: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=148570

            Here's how I look at it: Arduino has a *lot* of momentum, its userbase is growing rapidly, and its rate of growth is accelerating. Evidence: there are a gazillion youtube videos featuring the arduino. Sort the videos by posting date, and you'll see that the vast majority of them were posted within the *last year*. The reason for the mass adoptions is the relative ease of use. Therefore, I'd prefer that whatever I learn regarding machine-to-machine communication fit comfortably within the de facto Arduino standards, because that will leverage the dominant trend, have lots of support, and very likely will be among the easiest to use. If REST is it, then I think it's inevitable that users new to home automation will search for home automation platforms that are REST compatible. I'm not beholden to REST or anything else, but with arduino becoming a market maker, it just makes sense to look for it and maybe choose whatever is closest to it, provided it works.

              I don't disagree with you regarding having a platform that conforms but HS3 is RESTless at the moment. Maybe a plugin waiting to be written? Maybe there are other ways?

                  This is really cool. Looks to be what I've been searching for for months! Not sure how I missed this project. I just preordered a couple of Sparks that should arrive sometime in January. Can't wait to try it out!

                    I backed this so I have one coming

                    Hi Reidfo, sooooo happy you are getting some of these. If you need any beta testers let me know - I should have one soon (I hope).

                    These will be cool, BTW, if you are interested in devises that other would like to see supported let me know, I have a few :-)

                    Hope you have great holiday!!!!!

                      Arduino control is now easy in HS3! I've got 3 arduini waiting to be tested. Can't wait to find some time. Need to get some sensors first. Thinking a weather station would be a fun project.

                        I got a shipping notice from Spark NY yesterday AM

                        I'm assuming it f for this board but no 100% sure - hope so....

                          Looks like 2014 is going to be fun, fun, fun. with RedTechie's REST plugin and EnigmaTheatre's arduino plugin. With Arduinos, Arduino Yuns, and Spark Cores integrated into HS3, the possibilities are endless! I just don't know which way to go. Keep us posted how you make out with those spark cores. I will be probably getting a yun+poe early in the new year.

                            How many antennas does the Yun support? I notice Yun specs say it has 802.11n. I recently put a 3 antenna dual 2.4ghz/5ghz 802.11n mini-card in my laptop (upgraded from a lousy intel 2.4ghz 2 antenna Centrino 802.11n mini-card), and the Wi-Fi connection went from blah to awesome. Still waiting for 3 antenna 802.11ac cards to become available....

                            Just for fun: if a Yun costs $70 today (street price), any bets as to what the street price will be a year from now? 30% lower? 50% lower? 70% lower? More? Less? It's remarkable how quickly the prices of other arduino boards (and clones) have fallen.

                              I didn't realize what you meant by "sparks" until mbdirtfarmer's comment. Now I get it (https://www.spark.io/#). Cool. For the rest of us, it's $39 in January. i.e. already 56% the price of the Arduino Yun.

                              What other (if any) Wi-Fi enabled arduino boards or shields are known to be in the pipeline?

                              If size or form factor isn't an issue, connecting an anduino you have laying around to an old dd-wrt Wi-Fi router you have lying around is cheap. Besides, the Wi-Fi link is probably pretty good. Set the router in client mode and can you have, in effect, wireless Ethernet. For instance, you could wirelessly connect with the HS3 arduino plug-in. Quite a few links for how to approach that here (http://postscapes.com/arduino-wifi), which also has a compilation of various Wi-Fi shields (I notice the wiz610 Wi-Fi shield is now priced at $37.75 when I click through).

                              For a whole host of reasons, this Wi-Fi arduino stuff is gonna take-off like a rocket, and even more so as the price plummets.
