I am considering porting the old iHome iPhone app into an HTML5 web app.
The goal would be to have it setup in a way that it could be easily wrapped
as an iOS/Android/Windows Phone app or even a Chrome extension /
Firefox add-on. I don't really have the time to do all of this in any reasonable
amount of time so I would make it open source. I am thinking that I would
host the server, but give instructions so that a user could setup their own
server.
Are there any web developers / designers out there that would be interested
in helping?

Thats great. I would love to see it. I have never really messed with Sencha
but from the research I have done it sounds like its the perfect framework
for this.
The thought is to use node.js for the server and Sencha Touch for the
client.
I have a simple proof of concept node.js webservice setup that makes a
socket connection to PH and forwards a PH formula. It's surprisingly fast. I
will give you a link when I get a chance.
I would love to remove the server from the picture, but the PH webserver
is to slow to host all of the files.
I don't have any hard data but I think the PH socket server is quite a bit
faster than a call to the /ph-cgi/eval page on the PH web server.

Well like I said, I am no expert!
In fact I "borrowed" some code from your site back before sencha and before you made a full blown app.
You had a few PHP snippets on your website.
I use Apache and powerhome. I have a PHP file that I forward my requests to in apache and that calls .psp files that I have on the powerhome server. It is actually pretty darn fast too! for a webapp it amazes me!
You really should take a look at Sencha, it is awesome! I am not really to great with it yet but nobody believes my automation app is just a webapp. It can do everything a normal app can! If I am not to lazy later I will post a few pics. But they won't do it justice, you have to use it to appreciate it!
Go check out their "Kitchen sink" example and prepare to be amazed! unless of course I am just easily amazed which is very possible. lol
If you cant find it let me know and I will post a link!

Here is a link to the proof of concept node.js server and a simple test page.
It takes a server address, port, user and password and sends the command
to the PH socket server.

Thanks Kevin! This works pretty nice!

Thanks!!

So I finally started working on this again. It is now on Github if you want to
contribute.
https://github.com/respectTheCode/ctrlHome
no.de made some changes so I had to make a new VPS to take advantage of
so the sample is now at http://h.no.de.

It seems kinda strange entering in my PH server, username and
password in a non-encrypted site. Also, what do you do with
that information? Would it be possible for you to post some
screenshots?

You can look at the source on github. It is stored in a session store in
memory and then deleted when the session expires. I will look into https.
Setting it up to accept https is simple I just don't know if Joyent allows it on
the free no.de servers.
Right now all that is functional is an ajax form to run formulas and the login
/ session tracking.
