Not yet. [three hours later] O … K … Skip ahead if you don't want to read me ranting. If you want something that's *way* overspecified (I do not want to implement a structured version of SQL queries – among other interesting things – nor do I see any need to do so) and impossible to implement without (a) access to the reference implementation and its test cases and (b) at least a man year for the basics (the Java server example is 430 lines -- more than 70(!) import statements, way too few comments, and a heap of empty handlers most people would find to be somewhat essential), be my guest. This eerily reminds me of the X.400 train wreck of the 1980s. In any case, this is the OWFS list. I can guarantee that nobody in their right mind would ever connect an 1820 temperature sensor to such a system. > They are rather > far down the track in the direction you are headed. They also want $3000 for access to their C source code. Redistribution is not permitted, sorry, so any open source implementation will have to be done from scratch. > Why replow fields and reinvent wheels? Look at how much FHEM or OpenHAB can do. Ultimately I would like to build [the foundation of] something that's as capable, but somewhat more reliable (no single point of failure) and accessible ("if X, do Y" should be three lines of debuggable Python/Perl/whatever, or three Node:Red clicks). In any case I am no re-inventing any wheels. The wheels are out there, I can learn how they're built, and decide to use them in a vehicle that is easier to driver than what's already out there and that'll stay on track if one of the wheels gets loose. > Site24x7 APM Insight: [yeah, right] Adding commercials to emails is not a particularly good idea IMHO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
