So Lonmaker + a gateway would get me going though ?

I've designed the hardware for a few LonWorks products (fuel pumps, network
controllers, digital metering systems).  The software (some could argue the
"clever" bit) was sub-contracted to www.sontay.com , a company
with much
greater experience in designing LonWorks products than me.

When testing/commissioning the products, I used Echelon's LonMaker
software.
This, in conjunction with a LonWorks-RS232 gateway allowed the PC to
see/commission/control, all devices on the network.  Obviously, the
end-user
would use a more "user friendly" package.  But I never got
involved in that
end of the market :-(

Hi,

The airconditioning in our new house has a lonworks gateway available to
control it. Has anyone ever use Lonworks or tried to connect it to any HA
applications ?
