For 1-2 days work, some serious HA progress

["IVB" <ivb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, progress has been slow lately. Work has been truly horrific and
political, and will likely continue to be so for the next 3 months. Hence,
i'm in feast or famine mode - i either want to stay the heck away from
everything and chill with the wife/kids, or dive into it and shut out the
world.  I did a little of both this weekend, bought a bike&trailercar so 2yr
old could sit in back, and get some decent progress on the HA side.

I got serious progress on 4 major fronts:
1) CCTV webserver working again. it broke when I tried to downgrade to
Diginet V4.11
2) Front Door covert MotionDetector Camera working kinda[. Either I got
cheap cables, cheap BNC connectors, cuz I had a HECK of a time getting a
connection to hold. Plus, see the pics below, the image is a little funky.
This part isn't done yet.
3) 3400 can now run kick off a show on another PC which is hooked up to a
TV. Uses the SageTV webserver, and I can Play/Pause/skip from 3400. This
eliminates the need for any remotes in that room (except for TV on/off).
This is more cuz I got excited about the progress beelzerob is making on the
SageTV driver than anything else, wanted to start prepping for that.
4) CQC state logic and Elk rules setup so that I can tell if there's been
activity in a room within the last X minutes. I initially started with
5mins, but will probably change that to 15 once this is debugged.

Wife/kids are gone next weekend, i can't go cuz of work, so i'm coming up
with a big list of stuff to get done. With any luck, i'll pound through
lots, but that's assuming I don't get slaughtered at work this week and go
into hiding this weekend. I've got still 4 cameras, Elk speakers & custom
boards so I can play custom WAV files on doorbell/telephone, network&telco
distro, and more speakers all sitting in boxes in the living room.

Here's screenshots of 2/3/4:
