HomeOS for the smart home from Microsoft

HomeMaestro is a prototype of a home automation system that I built as part of my research to address the numerous issues plaguing current home automation systems. It consists of two main features: 1) a tangible, appliance-scripting interface, and 2) an "app store" for quickly and easily downloading functionality to the home. Or, as I like to pitch it, HomeMaestro is a platform for intuitively defining home appliance behavior.
