Vera makes a unit which is basically openwrt + a webui bridged to
zwave; It responds to xml/rest/json-y things.
The drawback is zwave isn't cheap.
The larger vera unit (not the lite) has a USB port and you can plug in
other RF modules - I've seen one for insteon (tho I can't get mine to
work), and I've seen them for other shade control units, etc.
Thanks for the info. Based on this I ordered some z-wave stuff.
Hopefully I'll have a good report of this to bring back in a future
lightning talk for the LUG.
