Mac Mini - Home Automation

'just wondered if anyone is using the 'Mini for Home Automation - it would seem ideal (and even more so, perhaps, if a lower-cost cut-down version were also available, then 'could distribute them also task-specifically around the house)
Power Mac G4 Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier Mac OS10.4 sometimes

I did briefly.. but it's pretty expensive to get everything running.
Indigo and Ovolab Phlink. Every item keeps stacking up in price.
I went back to using Misterhouse for Linux and Activehome Pro for Windows. Cheap CM11A $20 on ebay and Misterhouse for free. USB X10 Camera Dongle $30. Asterisk for Telephony free. Then a cheap linux box. You've got your Automation system for under $399. Far less than the cheapest Mini.
Sorry for being a sourpuss

  • Mac Mini Home Theatre PC + Lion = Big Bag of Hurt

    I have a mac mini (2010) connected via HDMI to a switcher and on to either a TV or projector. The TV happens to be on a wall 90° to the projector screen. The audio is also wired via toslink/optical cable to the AV amplifier. The main speakers are aligned with the projection setup so its nice to have the TV sound come from the TV directly sometimes, even though the quality is dreadful compared to the main speakers (as opposed to rich sound coming from only the left side).
    Running under Snow Leopard was fine - just switch the audio out from the HDMI to the Optical out at will (as one would expect through the sound output control panel).
    Unfortunately I thought it would be cool to update to Lion to have a trackpad rather than the mouse on the coffee table. Bad idea!
    Under 10.7.1 it all seemed to be working OK. Sound from main speakers, picture over HDMI on TV or projector. Sweet. Then I tried to change to the TV's speakers via the control panel. Nothing works. Click on either "optical out" or "Panasonic HDMI" and nothing changes, the audio keeps coming through the amplifier to the main speakers. Oh, well, the TV's sound was crap anyway, I could live with this at a push.
    Update to 10.7.3. Whoops. Now the sound only comes out through the HDMI cable to the television. Permanently. Again, choosing either option in the control panel has no effect. Apple seems to have hardwired it this way and those options are an illusion. Now, I want to watch a movie - ZERO sound! The projector has no speaker, but apple is sending the audio there along the hdmi and I have no way of routing it to the Toslink cable anymore. Total train smash!! Silent movies - whoo hoo. Fail.
    Annoyingly, this isn't a limitation of the hardware at all (it worked perfectly as expected in Snow Leopard) - its obviously a conscious decision. Or no one at apple bothers to test their stuff properly any more. All suggestions summarised - get new hardware - either new AV amplifier which accepts hdmi or extra cables to feed audio back from the TV to the amp!!?? Jeez. It used to work perfectly already without that.
    Oh well, restoring to Snow Leopard as I type. Will have to find another use for that magic trackpad I stupidly bought on Monday. So if you have a Mac Mini Home Theatre PC and you need the options on routing video and audio separately, stay away from Lion!

    You didn't need Lion in the first place for the track pad:
    System Requirements
    Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
    Two AA batteries (included)
    OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 or later
    I was using one with my 2010 Mini before Lion in my
    HTPC setup.

  • 2010 mac mini Home cinema sound and Home cinema headphones

    Hello
    im waiting for my 2010 mac mini to arrive,
    ive experience with home cinema setups in the past.
    Im looking to use my mac mini as a home cinema set up.
    Im fine with the visual side ( projectors and hdtv).
    The audio.
    How on earth do i get home cinema sound into headphones.
    due to where i live, headphones are the only option i have ( neighbours dont like noise.)
    ive tried :-
    sony mdr-drs7100
    Pioneer SE-DRS3000c
    pioneer dir-8000c.
    the three above are ok as they have home cinema audio processing built in and worked with the optical digital output fine.
    bass on the above 3 is weak.
    i aso will prefer a wired set of headphones ( had enough of wireless)
    im now looking at another route.
    1) a decent headphone amplifier capable of playing DTS and Dolby digital 5.1
    2) decent set of headphones to handle the above.
    anyone any setups they can share that work
    many thanks

    Hey David,
    My issue was resolved by ensuring that I was using a PAL resolution and frequency (720p @ 50 Hz or 1080p @ 50 Hz) for my PAL TV. Anything else causes audio stuttering through my HDMI cable.
    Don't ask me why. Try this on your setup by using only the one of your TV's native resolutions and frequencies (Should say NTSC Television on every native TV resolution if you are in the US, PAL Television in Europe). If you do have an NTSC TV, then you might be able to use all of the 60 Hz frequency resolutions without HDMI audio out problems, but I wouldn't count on it.
    From what I've researched on the issue, it is only TV's that have this problem, and it is a strange one, as it is actually a  display setting problem with an audio error symptom.

  • I need to connect my mac air with my mac mini home computer?

    I cannot find out what is needed to connect my mac air with my home computer, a mac mint

    If you have a WiFi network at home, the MBA should easily connect to the Mac mini or vice-versa for anything from file sharing, oprical disc sharing, or even screen sharing. Start in System Preferences > Sharing and turn on the desired services. In that same panel you can choose whether that access is for all users or for specific user accounts on the particular system.
    Then go to the other computer and open Finder then look under "shared" and select the computer you want to share. If you have activated screen sharing as well as file sharing you will actually have logon to both shares using the user account and password for the user you specified on the other machine.

  • Advice about Mac Mini home set up

    I'd really appreicate a bit of advice with regard to a good home set up...
    I have been using an iMac fomr 2007 for the last few years, primarily for photo editing on Aperture and Photoshop, as well as hosting a pretty big itunes library. The computer is now crushingly slow - I put this down to a combination of age (although 6 years isn't too bad!) and the amount of data being stored on the computer. I have 10,000+ photos and an itunes library of 200GB+. I am now thinking about the best way to go with regard to replacing the machine.
    One option I have looked at would be to purchase a Mac Mini with a server OS. I would then use this to host all of the files - itunes library, photo library, etc. I would then buy a laptop (not sure which one!) to do any importing of photos, editing etc. My understanding is that it would then be pretty straightforward to merge the library with the main library hosted on the Mac Mini.
    I am struggling to see if this is the best way to do things, to be honest. I have fairly limited knowledge of home set ups, but I am OK to learn as I go. The issues for me with buying another iMac are: in my house there is limited space to physically put the computer (2 children and a small house!) and I am worried that, even thought the iMac will be powerful enough to meet my storage needs now, it won't be so good in a few years time. I know an obvious solution it to buy exterbal hardrives, but I have fund these to be pretty unreliable, especially when they host photo libraries.
    Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thanks

    The only external hard drives I have had any reliability
    issues with are Western Digital external drives.  To often
    they have caused all manor of issues over the years and
    I now avoid them like the plague.
    Personally, I have a few Iomega portables for clone backups.
    For my media server, I have a pair or 500gig Gdrive portables
    for iTunes (one main, one as backup) and a pair of 3 Terabyte
    Seagate GoFlex drives (one main, one backup) to serve up
    all my video content connected to my Airport Extreme Base
    Station.  This setup is active 24/7 and has been flawless
    serving up their media content to my workstation Mini, my
    Macbook Pro, and my HTPC Mini for almost two years now.
    For file sharing that you desire to do, there is absolutely no need
    for the Server app.  Simply enabling file sharing and selecting
    folders to be shared is all you need to do.  And for iTunes, you
    will simply need to enable the Home Sharing feature in it.
    As far as a Mini, unless you want to do your Aperture and Photoshop
    on it, you can get away with the base model.  If you also intend to
    use it as a photo workstation, then I would suggest the next model
    up the food chain, with the optional 2.6 GHz, quad core i7. Also, if
    this is a scenario, max out the RAM to 16 gig, but get it from OWC,
    Newegg, etc.

  • Mac mini home theater resource and OS survey

    AVS Forum (AV Science Forum) is a free, discussion group Web site that offers a wealth of member-contributed information about home theater technology. Since June of 2005, it has offered a Mac subforum and the discussions in that group have increased with recent, Intel-based Mac mini sales.
    Currently a poll in the main "Home Theater Computers" forum asks "What OS drives your HTPC?"
    If you're a Mac user who's connected your Intel- or PowerPC-based Mac to a high-definition TV, you might consider taking part in this poll before it expires, though you do have to join the forum to do this. However, you just may find it to be a worthwhile experience, and your knowledge will undoubtedly benefit the Mac community using that site. I'm not formally affiliated with AVS Forum, just a member who has learned a lot there. The survey results have fluctuated between about 5% and 12% during the past few days, but as of today (4/19/06), the current "What OS drives your HTPC?" results are:
    Windows: 83.40%
    Mac OS X: 12.45%
    Linux :6.64%
    Other: 0.83%

  • Mac Mini Home Server

    Good morning.
    I am looking at purchasing a mac mini to function as a home server. I've got OS X server, and was wondering if anyone out here is running a mac mini with OS X server and their thoughts on doing this?
    Any help, or ideas would be appreciated.

    Hi rcooked-
    I've run a home server with a mini, but for my needs OSX Server is overkill as Mac OSX itself supports up to 10 concurrent users. I used an external firewire drive as the boot/system drive and I found the speed to be more than adequate as the slowdown was the internet pipe into the house.
    Don't forget to get a static ip address from your isp. It will make things much easier.
    Once I started getting more 10 concurrent users I moved to a web hosting company.
    Luck-

  • Mac Mini Home Network

    Hi,
    i am looking to replace my windows based system with an Apple solution. I currently use a Seagate NAS device connected to my router. Very simple...
    At present the system works but is unreliable and some features are limited.
    I was thinking of a Mac Mini as the host device for the network to do the following:-
    Connect 3 iphones
    Connect 2 ipads
    Connect 1 macbook pro
    Connect two further laptops (Windows)
    Store all my documents (word excel, pdf's etc)
    Store my other half's documents
    Host two or more iTunes libraries (i.e. mine and my partners plus children)
    Have remote access through the internet
    Be wireless at home
    Run on SKY (UK) router (New model Hub). Sky do not allow any other routers on their network
    I'm sure i can do it but not sure of the best equipment to acheive the best solution.
    i.e. do i need server model of Mac OS, is the base Mac Mini OK, would we have our own logon id's to the Mini??? etc etc
    Many thanks in advance
    Dave

    Yes, a Mini could do all that. And more.
    It's been discussed here a few more times. Get the Mini you want, server or not. You can - if not included - get the Server later as a separate app via the App Store, and you will want the Server app.
    I don't know the SKY router, but doubt it's Gigabit Ethernet? That might be a transfer speed issue. On the other hand, I wonder why it couldn't continue working as Internet router only while other network components were connected via a different router...

  • I am locked out of my mac mini what can I do?

    Hello,
    After bringing my Mac mini home and starting up with a foreign language which I managed to change to english, but found when the screen saver came one and I went to get back in I could not as it did not recognise my password.  Apple retail that installed the snow leopard because with issues with lion and now I cannot get in.  I logged on to discussions and printed off the instructions to reset the administrative password.  I inserted my snow leopard disk to reset the password but it still wants the password.  Is there anyway that I can override this and follow the instructions I printed.

  • No Sound through HDMI - Mac Mini

    Hello Forum, New user to this forum, I have a problem, I have bought Mac Mini ( August,2010) for home use and recently bought LG -32LD450 - 32". I have connected my TV directly to Mac Mini using a 1.3X HDMI cable. I have video/ display - however no sound. All i can hear is sound from the Mac Mini's internal speaker. I tried to change the setting through - System preference/sound/output. It displays - LG / HDMI - however i cannot select, the setting is active with internal speakers only. Please advise how i can obtain audio from the TV.
    I forgot to mention the message seen in System Preference/Sound/Output - LG TV HDMI - Settings for the Selected Device : The Selected Device has no output controls.
    In addition to the above, i have tried to check the output controls through Utilities/Audio Midi Setup. Here too i am not in a position to alter HDMI Settings.
    Help in this regards is highly appreciated...thanks
    Please help

    Krusdublin: I am experiencing similar issues with no real solution yet:
    I have a Mac Mini 2010 connected to a Sony Bravia HD TV via an HDMI cable
    sound output via TV speakers was not working when I first connected the two (about 4 mos ago)
    couldn't figure it out- and just used an headphone cable to connect the mac mini to a stereo
    somewhere between then and a month ago I disconnected all incl. power, and reconnected as I had to re-setup my tv (all reconnected in the same outlets via HDMI) (also got rid of the stereo at this point)
    then about a month ago I was back in the Sound preferences and found that I was able to get audio output via the TV speakers.
    about a week or so ago I disconnected all incl. power, and reconnected as I had to re-setup my tv (all reconnected in the same outlets via HDMI)
    however, about 3 days ago, sound output via TV was no longer an option
    when I say it is not an option, I have two lines under name and types as follows:
    "Internal Speakers" > "Built-In Output"
    "SONY TV" > "HDMI"
    when I switch from internal speakers to HDMI, I notice that the sound volume bar at the bottom of the screen goes faint, and I can't adjust the volume using the sound keys on my keyboard (bluetooth)
    the speaker icon in the top right of the screen is also greyed-out and not changeable...
    I notice that when I switch input on my TV aerial to the MacMini (HDMI 1) I get a little yellow triangle with exclamation mark in it, and the text: "AUDIO only" at the bottom right of the tv screen. (In not sure if I had this before or not - dont completely remember seeing it, but vaguely do...)
    I've also updated my macmini whenever an update is released (within a few days)...
    I've spoken with an Apple tech over the phone and went through a number of reboot (while holding down certain keys, etc.) to no avail. She then recommended that I go into the Apple store and have the mini checked out....
    At the apple store, the apple tech took the machine to the back, out of sight, and returned about 20 mins later to say that it was working fine. I asked to have it hooked up to one on display - so I could see for myself. We hooked it up to an HDTV via HDMI and booted up. Went to System Preferences > Sound and selected: "Panasonic TV" as the output device. I still could not adjust the volume bar (it went greyed out) - but I could crank up the tv volume directly and get sound. Great! Sort of... While now I could get sound - it was not the same as before where I could control the sound through the mac - only directly through the TV. The Apple guy said that he didn't know what I was talking about - and said that they way the machine was now working was the proper way. He unhooked my mac mini, and gave it to me, and walked away.
    Frustrated, I walked down to the Sony Store to try out the mac mini there. Same result as in the Apple store. I could control sound directly via the TV, but not through the mac mini controls.
    Took the mac mini home, reconnected everything and now get sound through the TV - but I cant control it with the mac mini on-screen controls, nor the volume buttons on the mac blue tooth keyboard.
    Today, I was watching a movie via itunes, hit pause, and went to do something for a few minutes. When I returned, the TV indicated 'no signal' via the HDMI (I assume because the mini went to sleep.) Tried to wake the mini - but couldn't. Had to resort to pressing the button at the back. When the mini came back, I had no sound at all coming through the TV speakers, even though the sound preferences settings were still the same. I had to resort to shutting down the mac mini, and then unplugging the power on the mini for a few minutes. Powering back up, sound was again able to comefromt eh mac through the TV speakers - but still could not control sound using the mac mini controls.......
    Thats where Im at so far....
    Aarrgh.
    THOUGHTS?
    Thanks in advance,
    MAJM

  • Home Automation and OS X

    I was unable to locate a more appropriate forum, for discussions regarding using the Mac in home automation. Does anyone have any links or information, regarding a Mac-based Smart Home? Here's my situation, thusfar:

    Smarthome is a great source for automation equipment. They have everything from simple starter kits to very high-end systems. Here is current Mac control software index:

    following upgrade to osx 10.8.2 on my mac mini I can no longer connect to icloud, I wouldn't mind so much but I have come to rely on th eicloud services to manage my work and home services, has any1 else experienced this and has any1 any solutions as this is messed up all of my work relations?

    Had the same problem this morning after updating to 10.8.2. Mail was finding my dot-mac account as always, but System Preferences popped up and said my iCloud password was incorrect. Did the "forgot password" reset, but still had the same problem. Then I went to icloud.com in Safari, logged in with the new password, it worked no problem. So I went back to the icloud preference pane, signed out of icloud, answered yes to all the warnings about data being deleted from my mac, blah blah blah, then re-signed in to icloud. Everything worked. I did have to set up my icloud account in Mail again, which now lists the account mailbox as "iCloud", and not "mac.com" as it did before. But so far, everything is working (fingers crossed.)

  • Desktop/Finder keeps rebooting after upgraded to Maverick (mac mini hooked up to a home theater system)

    My desktop keeps rebooting ever since I upgraded to Mavericks.
    Current setup, Mac Mini hooked up to home theater (Panasonic SC-HTB20) that is then hooked up to my Panasonic Plasma TV.
    I usually leave my Mac Mini on running and at least once a day when I turn on the TV I can see that my desktop was rebooted. Firefox and Chrome will say that it wasn't shut down properly and if I want to restore my previous session. Also some times when I switched the input to watch TV and switch back, all my windows will be scattered out of place. For example Chrome will be in the top left hand corner to the point that it's almost minimized and I wouldn't be able to move it as well. Only thing I can do is close out these applications and relaunch them. It doesn't appear that the OS actually crashed, but more like the desktop/finder itself crashed. Cause once in a while I will switch back or turn on the TV and the screen will stay black for a few minutes then I'll see the cursor in the top right hand corner. After that I will start to see the desktop and my application start loading. It doesn't go through the regular process of rebooting where you see the Apple logo so I don't think the OS actually crashed but I could be wrong.
    For some reason it seems like Maverick doesn't like the home theater system. An almost guarantee way to reproduce the issue is to wait for the home theater to turn off after it's been inactive for a while. If I turn it on the home theater to have the audio coming from it I will see the desktop goes black immediately then the whole desktop reboot process I mentioned above will kick in.
    Never had any of these issues on 10.7 before I upgraded to Maverick.
    Anybody have any suggestion? I really don't want to format and downgrade back to 10.7.
    Thanks

    Sounds like a kernel panic.
    If you post the report we could have a go at deciphering it.

  • Mac Mini as Home Theatre (advice please)

    Hi There,
    I am considering a Mac Mini to connect to my TV as a Home Theatre device. I just found out that the latest model has no optical drive & so that is a real blow to me as it is a very important factor.
    I have checked the older models & it seems the mid-2010 model might have what I need.
    It would be great if someone could confirm that model will have what I need...
    1) Must play PAL DVD & NTSC DVD (region2) directly. (My PS3 only plays NTSC, my xbox360 has died)
    2) Must have bluetooth - either for trackpad or PS3 controller (i beleive snow leopard has native PS3 controller support)
    3) Must have full HDMI output (audio+video)
    4) Wireless would be best, but LAN connection is fine.
    5) Must be a small device that can easily be moved from room-to-room.
    6) Having a decent web browser capable of using Megavideo etc, would be big bonus.
    With no optical drive, it would mean streaming a disc from my iMac but this inconveinience makes the Mini's price tag unviable for me, since playing these DVD's is the primary reason to buy.
    I could of course save a lot of money & buy a region free dvd player, but i thought with the other benefits of web browser on tv it would be the ultimate solution.
    How about Apple TV? Thats $99 & would stream. But will it stream a DVD from the iMac? & does it have a web browser?
    For $99 the compromise would be worth it.
    Although as I live in Japan & am originally from UK - Netflix etc is impossible for me.
    Thanks for any advice or sugestions.

    I dont know if this applies to laptops, even more dumb if it does, because of course in business you may need to travel to many regions with your job.
    It does. It even applies to Apple's external dvd drive for the Airbook. Apple is mad to go along with the DVD cartel on this. It is not uncommon for people to have DVDs from 3 or more regions. It is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH that their customers have to resort to workarounds like:
    * buying extra DVD drives
    * finding some other software to play DVDs
    * various hacks to reset the region change count
    * altering the firmware on the DVD drive (voiding warranty and risking damage to drive)
    Basically, wasting a lot of time mucking around, just so that they can play a bloody dvd. Get your act together Apple, and show some respect for people who hand you bucket loads of cash to buy a product that is supposed to just work, like your marketing hype says it should.
    This policy is imposed by the movie studios on hardware makers. However a lot of hardware makers now ignore this insanity. Unfortunately Apple have chosen to obey this.
    To show you the level of insanity, Sony are one of the big Movie Studios, Sony of course also make DVD players. Guess what, their home DVD players are able to play multiple regions. So even Sony at least in part think DVD regions are nuts.
    On Blu-Rays there is also a similar Region protection scheme. All the resellers think it is just as stupid as the DVD region scheme. In fact resellers make a specific point of advertising titles that are region free as region free (not all titles enforce this on Blu-Ray). If having a title region free is regarded as means of increasing legal sales by resellers, clearly this means region protection is harming sales.
    Movie Studio = Moron. QED
