I'm really excited to be working on a platform for light and sound control in the home -- there are no other open-source options for home automation with this kind of audiovisual integration. I think the plan to support as many home automation systems as possible is a great integrative approach.
Oh, wow. This looks like a really easy way to get a "turn on lights slow then play music" alarm... and some dance party blinky lights... and whatever else I bother to program!
That's right! Also, we're building in a higher-level language to describe lighting effects to music, so you can share a particular "mood" consisting of a song and the light-response presets.
