XMPPHWFS

Revision as of 02:43, 29 December 2011 by Petaflot (Talk | contribs)

Under the barbarian name of XMPPHWFS stands the following idea:

hardware IOs made available on a fuse filesystem through xml messaging protocol

and imagine doing stuff like

garage_temp = myHome/garage/temperature
garage_heat = myHome/heating/pump1

if (( $garage_temp < 2 ))
then
 echo 1 > $garage_heat
fi

XMPPHWFS is meant to replace locmon, which in my opinion was a good idea but is too buggy and impractical.

it was suggested to use IRC for communication, but device description is be greatly improved through use of XML and XMPP is just that.

interface should be event-driven

Hardware

to make XMPPHWFS as useful as possible, some hardware should be designed and the necessary firmware written

Software extensions

  • communicate with Asterisk to send voice commands
  • have some fun with XMMS2 / MPD
