Smart home/electricity open standard

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

Just like many I have a dream to "wire" my house with smart devices to
control (and monitor) every aspect,
but unfortunately I didn't have the time to implement any of it (yet)

but I keep my eyes open on the matter and I follow the HackADay blog to
learn about new stuff,
this is how I came across the sonoff devices which where the first devices
I purchase because the option to reprogram there firmware
and avoid the vendor lock problem which most of this devices have.

The OpenHAB froums are also a great place to find devices which work
seamlessly with OpenHAB and find other hardware recommendation.
