For anyone who is interested, here is a very cool project by a chap in the UK who has built himself a wall mounted panel for controlling his home automation system (openHAB) entirely via MQTT over ethernet. Pretty awesome design and a load of work has gone into it. Shows what is possible with some cheap components and some clever software!
I am looking at starting a similar project this week. Have just brought the basics I need for monitoring side of things and will see how I get on with the programming as its been a while since I have done any. Goal is to get a environmental monitoring implemented for major ares of a house, then move on to user interface with touch screen then get control sorted. Going to be a long project to complete
I just had trouble getting my head around how to set everything up. Also I'm not a Java programmer and there is stuff I have that OpenHAB doesn't support
