I’ve been using Samsung’s SmartThings – and it’s been fantastic. However it’s not very linuxy.

Awesome, I'll keep an eye out and make the drive. I use Home Assistant and yes, it's all config/yaml based and uses Python instead of Java. My setup is pretty much the other end of the product spectrum, Home Assistant, zwave, and some wifi devices. On that note, every home automation system sucks, you just need to find the one that sucks the least in area that's most important to you.

I'm sure I'll be repeating this at North - I just need to get that
scheduled.

Andy posted in IRC a link to another similar FOSS solution:
https://www.home-assistant.io/

That one looks to be much more configuration driven. I haven't gotten a
chance to do a comparison to see if it would meet all my needs. However,
it seems like it would involve a lot less code if it did.
