Twitter is a XMPP based solution.

xmpp to switch off a light bulb? only for bulbs with built-in lightLinux! *sigh*

When they put the xmpp client on the controller I’ll be impressed. Requiring a PC for control is kind of a bummer. OTOH, I suppose that could be a central control server with multiple legs out to controller devices.

@bitbass agreed. XMPP messaging for automation is an easy way to manage different devices. When they actually get a machine in the lightbulb with a XMPP client and a connection (without breaking the bank), i’ll be more excited.

Exciting!I was simply not aware that something like this based on a data push mechanism would be entirely possible, and I became aware of the OpenSpime libraries as well…

A neat end goal to use XMPP for, but I’m curious what issues the OpenFire installation on mac had… I’d like to get a bit familiar with the framework before Google Wave.

I agree.
