Minerva
Linux Home Automation for the Masses

So...

If you are new to Minerva or as lazy as I am, then simply grab the entire base archive, and install everything. It's less than 2.2MB and will save headaches.

All the code to Minerva is GPL'd. External dependencies (such as Heyu) may have other licenses.
