Bye Bye Standby (BBSB) Network Controller Firmware for B&Q HomeEasy

["bruce33sw" <watson2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I bought a Bye Bye Standby Network Controller (http://www.byebyestandby.com/byebyestandbyonline.html)
and some of their sockets - controllable over UDP, all was happy. Then, on
impulse, I bought a magnetic door switch and light bulb holder from B&Q
(HomeEasy HE309 by the looks of it). Then I thought.. "How hard can it
be" to get the HomeEasy to play nice with the Network Controller...

Well, some amount of grief later, I've got the bare bones of something just
about working. I've put my findings to date on http://sites.google.com/site/slangey/misc/bbsb
and thought I'd broadcast this to a known friendly audience first.

If anyone has one of these BBSB Network Controllers that is interested in
helping improve this - by testing/coding/suggestions/whatever then please
get in touch.

A word of caution - this is very early stuff, I haven't even begun to
implement any of the external web facing code (domia.eu) but it seems to
let me turn on/off and receive events from both kinds of devices over UDP -
which is what I need just now.

Hopefully this will be of some use to someone - and I look forward to any
feedback.

Bruce
