[misterhouse-users] What is a better Interface to support xPL or xAP or ???

[Neil W. <ne...@nw...>]

Hi All,

I have some equipment that I would like to connect to MH and instead of
redeveloping another protocol, I think it would be better to support a
protocol that already exists.

Currently my hardware interfaces are
	- 8 Input, 8 Output I/O interface module. Not unlike a weeder unit with
RS232 & RS485
	- On Screen Display, used to overlay text onto a TV feed.
	- Temperature Interface

I'm also going to build the following
	- 1Wire Interface. This does all of the polling not MH.
	- Standalone LCD display with a 4*4 keyboard
	- User Interface Terminal, with LCD display and the following options
		4*4 keyboard
		Sound (Be able to play Ring Tones from Mobile phones)
		IR Transmission
		IR Receiving
		I/O for interfacing to PIR movement sensors and direct control of lights.
		RS485 Interface
I was thinking of having one of these per room. Or at least a cut down
version for places like the garage etc.

Hence the question. What is a better Interface to support xPL or xAP or ???
