[HH] interfacing home automation with security systems

[Drew Van Zandt]

I've had similar frustrations with the HID Global proxcard controller at
the Artisan's Asylum, so I designed a PCB to replace it with a Linux-based
embedded device that speaks the same protocol so I don't have to design my
own RFID reader at the same time.  Their web interface appears to be
designed to be as irritating and clunky as possible so that you're forced
to upgrade to one of their security panels ($$$) rather than use the web
interface.

Rather than play that game, I'll make my own Weigand-interface controller
with Ethernet and open-source it.  Boards arrive in a week or so.  :-D
