ScARA

A central hub for home automation

Scara (or Sapphic Citadel Automated Residency Application) is a suite of applications that run on Raspberry Pi units to operate as a central control panel for various smart home devices.

The original prototype for ScARA was coded in Python 3, PyQt5, and Node.js.

After the original prototype was created, a new version of Scara was started that uses Node.js for both the panel and the server.

Scara is not currently in development, but eventually development might resume.
