home automation - how ?

hi all,
this is my first post ...
I will set up from scratch my home automation system, so first question is
comedi the right choice to base it upon ?
second one, to start I have in mind to monitor and control a methane
sensor and the on/off domestic methane valve, and also a fire/smoke sensor
... other stuffs to come after this basic setup, some other valves,
switches and sensors/detectors.
so some hardware, to end on a pci slot.
any direct suggestion or link ?
thank you vey much
bye
