That's GNU/Linux to you, you great hacker you. Srsly, release this soon, 'been looking for some FOSS project to manage my home's billion and one power sources, timers, lights, doors, and unicorn stable.
Would love to see how you even begin/approach meddling with hardware via commands to this complete noob anything other than stupid shell and CRUD app scripting.
Well, bits and pieces have been and will be released as open source, but the core automation system will not (at least for now). Check out my GitHub and SourceForge pages linked from my personal web site (linked from my HN profile) for the parts that have been released. If you must have FOSS, LinuxMCE might work for you, otherwise I'll continue to post more information about my system in the future.
P.S. I said "Linux+GNU" instead of GNU/Linux because I think of and use them as separate, replaceable pieces. And thanks for the compliment ("great hacker", hah) :).
