ISY-26 and Girder

[quixote]

I know that a couple of you are using the ISY with Girder, using scripts to communicate with the device. I was wondering if it is possible to have the ISY send events to Girder somehow. I remember reading something about this a while back, but I can't find the posts anymore. I'm trying to figure out if I could trigger events using the remotelinc and other devices like the EZIO Input/Output Relay Controller.
Thanks!

ISY? What is that?

The ISY-26 is a stand-alone Insteon device (actually, it needs to be attached to a PLM) that allows you to connect to it through a network. You don't need to have a PC running 24/7 since it connects directly to your network hub. I'd like to use it in conjunction with Girder to make it even more useful, though I have yet to purchase it.

I've been exchanging a few messages with one of the developers over at the Universal Devices forum, and he says that an SDK will be available soon. The WSDK (Web Services DK) will "allow you to use other programming languages (of your choice)" to trigger events in other programs. Sounds like Girder will be able to communicate with the device! I asked if Lua could be used and he said if we can:

1. Send SOAP messages
2. Open a tcp socket and keep it open
3. Parse XML events as they happen
then Lua will do the job.

here's an example on how to send a soap message from lua...

Excellent. Thanks, I'll bookmark that for when I get the device and the WSDK is released.
