The Calaos Project

Calaos has a long background in home automation and is built in several different layers. Low level as well as uniform and powerful user interfaces. It knows how to talk to hardware, and gives you the power to rule your home easily.

Calaos is full solution for home automation. It was first a system developed by a french company of the same name. When the company was closed during 2013, the entire code base was open sourced and released as GPL. A small community started around the project to continue the development.
