<h3>Description</h3>
<ul>
Fhem is a GPL'd perl server for house automation. It is used to automate
some common tasks in the household like switching lamps / shutters /
heating / etc. and to log events like temperature / humidity / power
consumption.<br><br>
The program runs as a server, you can control it via web or smartphone
frontends, telnet or TCP/IP directly.<br><br>
In order to use FHEM you'll need a 24/7 server (Fritz!Box, NAS, RPi, PC,
MacMini, etc) with a perl interpreter and some attached hardware like the
CUL, FHZ1300PC, etc. to access the actors and sensors. See the "Supported
hardware" section below.</ul>

<a name="Installation"></a>
<h3>Installation</h3>
<ul>
<h4>Debian/Ubuntu</h4>
<ul>
<li>Install <a href="http://fhem.de/fhem-=VERS=.deb">this</a> package.
For a better integration check out <a
href="http://debian.fhem.de/">debian.fhem.de</a>
</ul>
<h4>Unix / OSX</h4>
<ul>
<li>Make sure you have perl. Most certainly you will need the
Device::SerialPort perl module, install it with "sudo cpan
Device::SerialPort" or "apt-get install libdevice-serialport-perl".
</li>
<li>Download the <a href="http://fhem.de/fhem-=VERS=.tar.gz">
.tar.gz</a> package, unpack it, and change to the unpacked directory.
<li>start FHEM directly from this directory (perl fhem.pl fhem.cfg).
</ul>
<h4>Windows</h4>
<ul>
<li>See the <a href="HOWTO_Windows.html">HOWTO_Windows.html</a> for a
detailed description.</li>
<li>If you are using cygwin for your perl installation you can
follow the guidelines for Unix.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fritz!BOX</h4>
<ul>
As of Fritz!OS 6.20 AVM decided to remove all possibilities to start
"foreign" programs automatically after a reboot, that is why I advise
against deploying FHEM on the Fritz!BOX, see also <a
href="http://forum.fhem.de/index.php?topic=25066.0">this</a> discussion
(in german). If you still insist:
<li>On the FB7390 or FB7490 install <a
href="http://fhem.de/fhem-=VERS=-fb7390.image">this</a> image. Note: it
is needed <i>additionally</i> to the OS image from AVM.<br>
<li>On the FB7270 unpack <a
href="http://fhem.de/fhem-=VERS=-fb7270.zip">this</a> zip file to a
USB-Disk, attach the disk to the FritzBox, log in, and start FHEM from
there.
</ul>
<br><br>
After the installation follow the <a href="HOWTO.html">HOWTO</a> for adding
devices or try out the demo configuration by starting fhem with:<br>
<ul><code>
perl fhem.pl fhem.cfg.demo
</code></ul>
