Just one question. The X10 plugin works
without the
X10 interface?
I want to test it in a virtual mode and I
cannot
start it in this moment, because I have no interface.
Maybe is a good idea to make all the plugins
to
work even without the interface. For the infrared one, in order to test the
functionality even if you don't have a hardware interface, in the
configuration
page there is a checkbox where you can choose to hear 2 short beeps on the
server when an infrared command is sent. It can be generalized to all the
plugins.
Some more ideas:
I think is better to have access to the whole
AutoM8it functionality from the web interface, in order to :
- define new events
remotely
- configure the
plugins
Load the plugins dynamically, without
restarting
the AutoM8it framework;
Possibility to use IIS as web server, in order
to
implement other security layers, like HTTPS connections without
an extra
cost;
Some other plugins to implement:
- a video input plugin
which can
trigger an event when something is changed in the image (surveillance
purpose).
Then to start send the video to a remote host for storage (this as a
separate
output plugin, which can be triggered by another input event
too);
- dial-up output plugin
which
can be triggered by an input event (let's say someone ring the door bell)
and
then establish an audio link phone-to-server, in order to talk with the
person

My idea is to transform the framework in
something
more security oriented and fully remotely operated using a secured
connection
(not only based on simple authentication). In that way you can fully
control and
secure your house remotely.
