Patrick,

The webserver was a proposed admin tool. You are right, and that a
"fat application" would do equally well.

I was deliberately trying to avoid anything that relied on a particular HA
controller.

Given that I have HV, my natural tendancy is to write something that just
uses that. However, I figured that if I/you/whoever were going to be
writing code, we might as well pick something neutral, but easy to
interface.

As you're spotting, I've come at this with a relatively clean sheet, and am
getting some great ideas out of what everyone's posting. It is looking, as
you say, more and more like an event-driven / message-passing app as we go
on.

Why the web-server? Not sure if I've missed something, but what you 
have described looks like classic event-driven HA. The same kind of 
thing Mr House, Homeseer, HV scripting etc all do very well. It might 
be better to look at the common denominator of HA control software 
and work out what kind of interface(s) would provide universal access.
