The team at Contemporary Controls have created Raspberry Pi home automation controllers based on the BASPi series of building automation controllers. The first design is a 6-universal input, 6-relay output, BACnet server, Sedona-programable board which mounts on top of the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header as a HAT.
With the installation of the free BASpi firmware and the HAT/daughterboard the awesome Raspberry Pi mini PC can be transformed into a powerful BACnet-networked, Sedona-programmable building automation controller. Data can be accessed via the Internet unpublished to a website from monitoring and configuration.
“The BASpi I/O board is a 12-point BAS expansion board for Raspberry Pi. The I/O board, plus the firmware files provided by Contemporary Controls turn your Raspberry Pi into a BACnet-networked, Sedona-programmable controller with 6 Universal Inputs and 6 Relay Outputs. These new BASpi models incorporate feature sets currently in demand such as cloud connectivity, weather API, REST API, MQTT over SSL, and Haystack.”
