Hi list. I want to write an application for the Freerunner to control stuff in my house. This includes TV, light and other stuff.
For the TV, I want a smart remote, that remembers which channels I usually watch on a given time and weekday. It should sort the channels so that my favorite program appears first. This is not something I will implement, but I want to make a lib. for communication with TV, lights, etc. The systems could be accessed through wlan, bluetooth, etc. All these peripherals should communicate using the same standard protocol. My problem is to choose a good one. It must support: - auto registration of devices (each device has a default ID and a device_type_id, it will be discovered on broadcast and assigned an unique ID, much like DMLS (http://www.dmls.com)) - knowing what kind of device it is (device_type_id) (ligh (on/off or dimming, etc), TV (selecting channels, etc), etc) - ask the devices for status report - send control message to the devices My plan is to connect the divices to a micro controller, a multiplexer and then to a linksys wireless router (flashed) over rs232 or usb. A normal computer could of course also be used. I am not sure exactly how or when to do this, but it would be cool. Any ideas? The most important thing is that it is an open standard with low overhead. -- Flemming _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
