Having updated WordPress to version 3.5, I also updated the theme to “Twenty Twelve”.
It looks slightly slicker but I had to reduce the header pictures a bit to accommodate…

Until now, I had to VNC on my Raspi, then open a terminal window, then run a script.
If I wanted to make adjustments, I’d have to stop the script, edit it, then run it again.
Thanks to drcurzon via www.instructables.com, I started to work on a Web Control Panel for my Raspi to contol LED’s, Light and Movement Alerts.
Have a look at the great instructions to reproduce: www.instructables.com/id/Web-Control-of-Raspberry-Pi-GPIO/

I thought I’d customise my WordPress based page and replace the built in header pictures with my own.
I now have shots from some of my trips showing up. Enjoy
I tried a new function from the great Lavrsen’s Motion app: Timelapse.
I set the webcam to record a picture every 60 sec and made a movie out of it.
Here is the result:
I’m using my Raspberry Pi more and more for home automation.
I have forgotten a few times to switch off the light downstairs while going to bed. And I usually don’t realise it’s been on until the next morning.
Similarly and more gravely I forgot a few times to lock the door.
Now I’m sure I’m not the only one to reach the bed, get comfortable and then ask myself “Did I lock the door?” only to have to go downstairs and double check.
This is where my Raspberry Pi and few components comes in handy: I have a PIR for motion detection, a photo-resistor and a piezo buzzer connected to my Pi via a breadboard. Then it’s “simple”: check if it’s late in the day, check whether the light is on and if so, was there movement in the last 5 min? Yes? Then sound the alarm !
Similarly check if it’s late in the day, check whether the light is off and if so, is the door locked? No? Then sound the alarm !
I’ll create a dedicated page with some pics and code soon.
