Wow, ouch.  What guilt!  :-)  Okay, okay, so I haven't hunkered down and
written a full Home Automation toolset in Ruby ... so sue me, I'm
expecting my second child to be born (literally) any day now.  (The
estimated due date was Jan 27-28.)

Take the feature list and order it in priority order.  Then, as we find
time, we'll build those bits.  In a year or so, we might have something
of note.  Or, we won't.  Or, someone else will beat us to it.
