My home automation is built using Phidgets and Xbee radio's. The software is
written in c# in .net
I am using a windows based machine for my software to run, you could use linux or
something else since the phidgets products work with pretty much anything.

You will want to know how to turn on and off your HVAC and in the different modes.
I made sure i could get this working first just using some wire
Turn on Fan:
Bridge : G to Common
Turn on A/C
Bridge : G to Common
Bridge: Y to Common
Important you do not want to join G and Y together just use separate wires down to
Common
Turn on Heating:

Testing is important because its possible to have a bad output or input and drive
yourself crazy.
Testing:
1. Plug you phidgets IO board into a PC and install the phidgets drivers

(http://www.phidgets.com/docs/Operating_System_Support)
1. Make sure that the divers install correctly and double click on the phidgets
control center icon in the task bar
2. Test the I/O board
3. Go through each of the outputs turning them on and off , measure the output
with a volt meter should register around 5v
4. Check the relay board you should have a direct short when the output is on and
it should be open when the output is off.
5. Open the temp util and check the temperatures
6. You can get the detailed procedure on everything from the product page of the
phidgets site
