heimcontrol.js was created to gain experience in Node.js, MongoDB, Websockets and a lot of other great technologies that were used in the project. Take a look in the package.json for a full list of used open source projects...

• Communication with an attached Arduino
• Wake-on-LAN (not really hardware, but at least it wakes up hardware)
• Stream your webcam via socket.io
