Hi, all!

I'm planning to build a home automation system of my own.
I've been told that PICs would be great for this.

I plan to use RS-485 bus to connect PICs together. Is this
a good choice? For several weeks I have tried to document
my ideas and today I started translating the document into English.
It can be found at http://www.plopcrew.net/vuori/talo/ha.html

However, I'm _new_ to PICs and electronics, so I would
like to ask if anyone of you has done something similar.
I would be pleased if you had some ideas or appropriate
links (especially for circuits). Any kind of help would be
greatly appreciated. I hope I'll some day get this finished
and documented so that others can benefit, too.

I think the programming is not that bad for me, as I know C and
have done some Z80 asm programming, too.

Sorry for my bad English. Please ask, if this email or
the web page mentioned is unreadable or not understandable.

Regards
