      <description><![CDATA[So recently I started thinking about my HA system when I have guests. I have a small house (not a tiny house) just a small house. When my parents visit they setup camp in the living room.
Working on getting PIR motion sensors to turn things on and off. But with guests, I need a guest mode to disable the motion sensor…. and not because I tend to dance in front of the motion sensors.]]></description><enclosure url="/2016/06/12/openhab-wall-switch/featured.jpg" length="70035" type="image/jpeg" />

      <description><![CDATA[Ok, we have all done it. Where the hell is my phone? Where’s the ipad? Home alone trying to find it and you have no way of calling it because, well, no land line.
A week or so ago I finally replaced my Jurassic period thermostat with something a little newer. I know, weird right. I do all this stuff and I had a thermostat that was 1 step above this]]></description><enclosure url="/2016/05/30/find-my-sht/featured.jpg" length="95246" type="image/jpeg" />

      <description><![CDATA[So a while back (let’s not talk about how long ago) I found the site of HazyMat
Multi-zone audio: a discussion of the options He seemed to have found a great solution for doing some work on whole home audio. This is something I have been trying to find a good solution for myself.
I decided to test this out myself using the XAP 800. I picked this thing up on ebay for $24 bucks.]]></description><enclosure url="/2016/05/30/whole-home-audio-rig/featured.jpg" length="83665" type="image/jpeg" />

      <description><![CDATA[So my Super Villain lair is super secretly located in my converted garage… shhhh.
So we found out that Florida is a rough place to be a super villain. It’s hot here. So I needed a way to help keep my lair cool. So many full moons ago my minions held a Staples store for ransom till they gave me an AC unit.
This thing is huge. It’s a 14000 BTU unit.]]></description><enclosure url="/2016/04/10/is-it-hot-in-here-home-automation-ac-addition/featured.jpg" length="55999" type="image/jpeg" />

      <description><![CDATA[So in the last 2 weeks I have been put to the test of patience and road rage.
Last week there was a guy that decided to take his dog for a walk on the over pass and decided to stop and contemplate jumping. This closed down a 3 lane highway and the 2 joining lanes completely in morning rush hour. Diverted traffic was diverted to a 1 lane exit. I sat in traffic for 3.]]></description><enclosure url="/2016/04/09/traffic-actual-cars-woes/featured.gif" length="27397" type="image/gif" />

      <description><![CDATA[So, my openhab system periodically decides to leave the building. Appears there is a problem from time to time when the z-wave binding loses communication to the z-wave stick it gets upset and tells openhab to take a hike.
This is bad. Once because it exposed something I missed in my fault tolerance. I had compensated for network issues and full machine failover. But the actual process going belly up…. ooops.]]></description><enclosure url="/2016/01/24/openhab-crashing-with-z-wave-fix-it-fix-it-fix-it-fix-it/featured.png" length="168422" type="image/png" />

      <description><![CDATA[I have been running openhab for over a year now on a raspberry pi. I also run mosquitto mqtt broker with a great piece of software called mqttwarn. On my phone I run owntracks.
So lets do a brief summary of what these pieces of software do for me and what I currently have configured.
