Teach-Cliste-Home-Control

With the rapid advancement of network connected technology, home automation is a growing market.   The objective of the project is to design and build a control interface that will bring together the control of light, heat, audio and video in a simple yet intuitive user interface. Despite there being applications available to control the majority of connected home devices, few combine this into a single interface. The project will involve designing a front end interface which will run on an Apple iPad. The application will communicate with the different elements of the system using AMX. A working prototype will demonstrate a range of communication methods including infra-red, RS232 and IP. Home automation technologies simplify living, but also helps monitor energy efficiency and security. The project will incorporate a popular lighting control system, the Phillips Hue, which will result in significant energy savings for the user.  After conducting market research, it was noted that entertainment is a key element of home automation systems. With this in mind, the project will incorporate control of audio and video sources including Apple TV, Blu-ray player and much more.  The control system will be developed on a NetLinx NX-3200 integrated controller and programmed in AMX NetLinx code. The user interface will be developed utilising TPDesign and hosted on an iPad by TPControl.

Backup-And-Restore-Linux-System

A script (scripts) to back up and restore a Linux system. The complete solution should able to backup specific file locations to a backup folder and restore them when necessary. The backed-up files should be able to do incremental backups There are a number of options available for carrying out the task of backup rsync dump find using options for modified files and copy The backup script should be capable of being run on a schedule (using cron) Backups should exclude the following locations /dev/* /proc/* /sys/* /tmp/* /run/* /mnt/* /media/* /lost+found The strategy for the backup could be either to do a complete system backup (excluding the locations listed above) or the administrator (you) to identify specific directories or files to backup. The strategy should justify your choice of folder locations. The script should be documented appropriately and include a “howto” file detailing any necessary information.
