Maybe it is a stupid idea, maybe not.
Besides the fact that it seems overcomplicated, I'm not sure that for an home network the approach same jid, multiple resources is the correct one. Multiple resources are sometimes confusing and cause problems in message / packet delivery, so I'd avoid any action for extending their use. The only use of resources I'm a fan of is for allowing simultaneous connections of the same user from different devices. In these cases I prefer at least three possible alternate approaches: - trivial, but effective: give a jid to any device (the TV set is not the same thing that your alarm: they have distinct roles and perhaps also authorized users and contact lists) - in you really want to put all together use different nodes for appending commands - use an home server and talk to the world with s2s connections (sooner or later we will have the challenge of handling hundreds of thousands of s2s connection, so let's face it! ;)) bye -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: f...@jabber.bluendo.com
