I think we're looking at a 50-50 mix (well maybe a slight bit more towards
the HeyU side). I've not seen docs on the X10d interface though I've also
read the source code. I know HeyU has Xtend (x 10 d) and X10d has HomeDaemon.

I'd be interested in looking at the code. :-) If you post it let me know
and I'll add it to my general HA page.

The interface to lhad (I've gotta bet a cute name for this) will be
documented. We're working through that now. I need to reread Jay's message
again to make sure I understand. I think I know what he means as I also
have controllers that support multiple devices. But I need to get a firm
grasp on it. There are going to be I/O commands (set/get type commands),
controller related commands (such as load firmware, not set/get commands
etc), and monitoring commands (monitor this device but not this one). I
currently haven't come up with any others.
