Ideas for integration into home automation

1. Port LOUIS4Vera to the Chronos (needs a special firmware with something like [1])

2. Monitor your heart rate (requires optional chest strap).

3. Use the Chronos kit as a proximity sensor for your home.

4. Combine 2., 3., the Squeezebox Control beta plugin, and AmpliFIND to play music that matches your current heart rate.

5. Use the internal thermometer to regulate your heating system.
