Marcel
Very lightweight daemon to publish figures to a MQTT broker (1wire data as temperatures, ISP real time consumption, UPS figures, meteo forecast, ...), check subscribted topics and alerts if out of range or missing. Custom decision scripts can be created in Lua. (by destroyedlolo)
Selene
Automation tool based on MQTT data. Optionnal backends to create "DRM/Cairo" "DirectFB" or "Curses" graphical applications. (by destroyedlolo)

Modbus TCP anyone and for which kind of usage
I created a daemon that is bridging various protocols I'm using for my automation to MQTT (1-wire, RFXTRX, and some low level reading) : https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Marcel

How I wrote my own Smart Home Software using Lua
Everything is built around MQTT messaging and I got several daemons picking, processing and submitting information. - https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Marcel is in charge of low level interface with my 1-wire network, get weather forecast, ISP figures ... Lua user script are doing simple processing and validate data if needed - https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Majordome is the root of the automation. Lua user scripts are launch based on received even and implement the automation. Initially, it was fully a Lua application, but separating the low level (C++) and user part (Lua) makes the code more easily manageable, and simply everything. - https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Selene is a framework helpers to Lua. Thanks to its pluggins, it add some capabilities to Lua to generate graphical or textual interface ... and much more like data management, multi-threading (real threading, not only co-routine that wasn't enough for such massive event driven dashboard).

Somfy devices not controllable in Google Home
I created one of them : Marcel (among other stuffs it can do). But it is very geeky oriented tool as needed manual compilation (nothing very complicated, only the procedure needs to be followed ... but repulsive for those who are used to windows and ready-made stuff).

Patio Door Automation
Yes, I did that using a 1-wire DIY captor + homemade daemon.

Looking for a tool to extract Lua Interface in C(++) code/comment
I built a framework allowing even based automation, dashboard creation and many other things. It is written in C (and some companion in C++) and is lacking of decent documentation but in source code's comment.
