Two things - one v boring - can I hook it up to a RPi? I suspect yes so we shall see.<p>Bit that light switch just killed me. they painted on a light switch. With Zwave that means no electrician, no installation. I have been looking around at what all this neans - how will we be doing the same things in the future - but how will they be different.<p>And that hit me. Houses at the moment are analogue, lacking co-ordination, shared protocols etc. I mean I have a new build with some top dog heating control thing. it&#x27;s sooo counter intuitive, that I just press up or down.<p>but a little home automation and people can paint on their own controls. Buy sticker packs from B&amp;Q. EInk will be able to turn a paint on wall to a display. It&#x27;s the same thing (turning lights in) just different

I love it! A few months ago I took apart an old Roland keyboard and hooked it up to an arduino in hopes of creating a midi device. But the project become too much to handle. This seems like it could achieve what I want much quicker!<p>From the description it seems like I could only hope to get one octave of keyboard notes out of these... I wonder if there are any tricks you could use to get more. Or if you could chain these.
