I want to develop a small C# application to control various components of a central heating.
First, I would like to be able to retrieve values from a temperature sensor. I must not be the first C# developer looking to get this kind of stuff. I would then try to control thermostatic valves.
Microsoft or others vendors delivers GUI libraries, Mathematics libraries, database access libraries, ... I'm just looking for a Home Automation Library or something similar. Could you redirect me to the hardware components compatible or information sites on the subject.
Thank you,

Python, Node. js, Java, C#… and around a dozen more languages can work just fine for smart home automation.
“Home automation” refers to the automatic and electronic control of household features, activity, and appliances. In simple terms, it means you can easily control the utilities and features of your home via the Internet to make life more convenient and secure, and even spend less on household bills.
The Internet of Things, commonly known as IoT, refers to any device that's connected to the Internet that isn't normally; for example, a smart light bulb that you can turn on and off via an app. All home automation devices are IoT devices, which can be automated to trigger one another.
I'm playing around with a .NET development board with great fun for home automation. They come in all price ranges(some very simple and there are the ones with screens, wifi and so on) and support a compact .net framework and have a lot of sensors and relays to add on to it!
NetDuino
My own project at home is that I just had a on/off switch for my warm water. I do control it with my netduino board by a fixed times but I can also switch it on from a web browser. Next version is for it to not switch on if there have been no movement in my apartment for a while so if I go off for holiday I don't have to switch it off. Also bought an servo to open my window if temp go over a certain degree :).. Next will be to have some kind recognition if a lady enters to start the soft music and the disco ball spinning!
