Limitations and To-Do List

1. Add support for other home automation protocols such as UDP, Zigbee and X10. The initial release of AutoHTN only supports Z-wave; however, AutoHTN uses the open source xPL protocol to send out home automation commands. XPL allows communication between multiple home automation protocols with X10, UDP, and others already supported.
2. Add combo button feature which gives the ability to accomplish multiple functions with the press of one button.
3. Add a media section to pick which music to stream off an HTPC. Similar to jukefly.com
4. Add 4 quick task buttons to bottom of home screen
5. AC/heat commands are not tested on actual hardware. The commands are standard xPL commands so they should work. Nevertheless, it would be useful to test it on actual hardware.
6. Program for the PC side to notify Android when motion is triggered .
7. Add "dimmer" level option to all the light buttons.
8. Make it easier to install home automation programs and hardware at home. Installing the Android AutoHTN program is the easy part! Installing all the different home automation programs, drivers, and hardware is a pain in the you know what. Consolidating programs and developing an all-in-one solution will make things easier.
9. Layout for multiple phone resolutions.
10. Allow ability to add more than 9 buttons or lights.
11. Commands and status from AutoHTN are not encrypted in this initial version. Plans are to secure and encrypt the network path through the Internet.
12. Testing of camera video using formats other than mp4 needs to be done. Current version of Android SDK only supports MP4
13. Testing of HTPC video need to be done. According to VideoLan 's spec at this link, mp4 streaming via http is not supported.
14. Test AutoHTN on actual Android phone.
