RE: Google Talk
I used to do exactly that a few years ago with MSN Messenger...
I wrote a plugin for Homeseer-MSN integration which used to send me IM's
from the house to notify me of certain events (burglar alarm arm/disarm,
doorbell press etc.), and also let me open a conversation back to the house
so that I could control Homeseer via IM's (run events, control devices,
check status etc.).
Then Microsoft went and changed the MSN API completely and rendered my
plugin completely inoperable... :-(
I never got around to learning the new API and trying to rewrite the
plugin... - ISTR the new API was much more restrictive and certain things I
used to do couldn't be done any more without getting into some heavy duty
programming...
Oh well, - that's progress for you I gues...

Q.
Oh, and maybe I should have prefixed the subject with [OT], but as the
standard/api's can be used by anyone, just think of the HA potential! Get
an instant message from your HA system whenever an important event
occurs...
