Why?

Because we can, because we want to, and most importantly, because it is fun and exciting.

We who use BM have realized that using a multitude of different tools isn’t the correct way of building a system. We want all parts to fit together, without having to force them. We want to be able to add new functionality without having to rethink every part of the system, or be afraid that it will break it. We want it simple, yet flexible.

How?

Modularity is the secret. BM isn’t any one thing, it is what the user makes it into. The user defines what it should do and when. All parts of BM can be seen as a separate applications, yet at the same time integrated in the whole. BM brings different technical domains together into a single one. Temperature readings, SMS, xAP and 1-Wire all live together in harmony without ever being forced into any one specific role. Further, BM is about functional features, not bells and whistles, pretty user interfaces and fancy graphics.

Why you, too?

For the same reason as the rest of us – because you have realized that while there are many good applications to choose from, none suits your needs or is unable to integrate with other parts of your system. That is the reason BM was created in the first place – to fill the void that existed in automation tools, with both enthusiasts and professionals alike as its target audience. So please, come join us. It is free to try and we are happy to help get you started. Discover flexibility mixed with simplicity!

What, exactly, can it do?

BM consists of several modules, each providing a different functionality, ranging from 1-Wire, SMS, xAP and database connectivity to graphs, e-mail and sound/text-to-speech. The Rule Engine allows you to define how each different part shall be integrated in your system, all configured using function blocks.
