These pages are about Home Automation Project based on Controller Area Network HAPCAN. In simple words Home Automation is the ability to control lighting and household appliances. After proper programming the Home Automation can control itself, it possesses its own intelligence.

These pages give information how to create your own home automation system. Here you can find device schematics, firmware and PC software to programme and control the system.

 

HAPCAN becomes greener. The new processor saves energy by up to 50%. Implements XLP (eXtreme Low Power) technology. New applications were designed to achieve the low possible current consumption. The UNIV 3 is even more universal, because it has got two bootloaders installed: CAN & UART. Can work with 8 and 32 MHz clock, has got twice more memory and will be available twice cheaper than previous chip.   First UNIV 3 applications will be available at the beginning of June.   The UNIV 3 to UNIV 1.0 and UNIV 2.0 comparison chart can be seen below.
