I am writing this post on the basis I have limited knowledge to C/C++
programming and very limited knowledge of creating webservers.
My goal is to design my own DIY home automation using the Beagleboard
and any applicable modules (e.g. AtTinyXX controller).
This is what I "THINK" I need to set up:
1. Load Apache Web Server on my BB
2. Write some QT Code to interface a browser with the I/O ports on the
BB which will in turn send signals to my AtTiny controller.
I am a hardware EE so the latter (#2) is what I expect to be the
challenge.
The reason I am posting this is because I'd like to input on my
choices to load Apache on the BB. Is this the wisest decision or is
there something more practical.
Any advice or comments is greatly appreciated.
I'm kinda doing the same thing but sending serial strings out the usb to an arduino running firmata. Since I haven't figured out the gpio on my beagle yet.

Hi,I don't really have any experience with home automation but I can give you a few starting ideas.
- You can control your system remotely through the browser. You don't need QT or similar interface.- You can run an Apache web server on the BB- You can call system commands from PHP. http://php.net/manual/en/function.system.php- You can control the GPIO on BB with a C/C++ program.To sum up, write and compile a program in C/C++ to interface your BB with ATTiny (or anything). Make a webpage in PHP which simply calls this program.I hope it gives you an idea.

The NPM also makes it even more simple.

This is another weather based project using BeagleBoard:

I would expect that a much smaller web server like Mongoose would be
appropriate:
