After reading this post, I think I have something that may be of general interest to the group. Just a couple of weeks ago, UPnP Forum gave final approval status to the SensorManagement device control protocol (DCP). This is a general purpose specification that works within the Universal Plug-n-Play (UPnP) architecture and allows a large class of devices to be modeled by a collection of sensors and actuators. For example, one sample application models a refrigerator by freezer temperature, grocery temperature, vegetable temperature, door-open alarm, etc. A device model can be simply built with XML syntax in a matter of minutes. But the news is even better. This is available right now for free to anyone interested in building applications that use UPnP. UPnP has been around for a dozen years and is currently deployed in over a billion devices. There are numerous stacks, tools and development kits (many of them free) and they are available on most every operating system. Full disclosure: I am the chair of the UPnP technical committee. However, since this is a system that any of you can use for free to develop your sensor-based solutions, I don't feel guilty about promoting it. You can learn about UPnP technology at upnp.org. It is an open standards development organization. You download the specifications for free. Basic membership is also free. If the group is interested in a more structured presentation of the SensorManagement DCP, I could arrange a web-based presentation.
