Show HN: Bitdog – a completely hackable home automation toolset Hello Hacker News, My co-founder and I have spent the better part of years developing a completely hackable Home Automation toolset that runs on a Raspberry Pi, or any machine running Linux. With just a Raspberry Pi and a $45 Z-Wave dongle ( https://ift.tt/2PdsMLU... ), you can run a complete home automation system! Our hub will support any Z-Wave or Z-Wave plus device. We are cloud hosted service that doesn't require you to purchase any proprietary hardware. Our hub software runs on NodeJS and is completely open source. We encourage developers to make a publish extensions. We of course have published an app that allows the creation of dashboards for quick actions, reports, detailed logging, automations, and integration with Alexa. We are currently working on integrating with Google Home. We consider our differentiating features our reliability, focus on privacy, and configurability.
