I'm not terribly familiar with Rust's story on ARM, but I do know there are people working on cross compilation. I'll see if I can hook it up to the CI later today. Certainly, there's nothing in ripgrep itself that should prevent it from working on ARM.
I've published a few crates in the home automation space, but they're both pretty terrible at this point. One of them is for controlling WeMo devices, and now that I know Rust better I'm going to rewrite it using the new blocking APIs rather than Mio. (And real SOAP support.)
What kind of home automation will you be doing? I'd absolutely love to collaborate on a gateway that interacts with Wemo, Z-wave, Zigbee, etc. and can do basic things like events, scenes, schedules, etc.
I haven't focused on home automation all summer long since I've been trying to get my Donald Trump TTS engine (also written in Rust) ready for the election. It's soooo close.
