OpenHAB

Someone a while ago said I should look at OpenHAB.

I did look at this and I thought, hmm that's interesting.  At the time I could not find a Java based xAP framework which you are going to need before you even think about integrating with this.  After much deliberation I finally got around to writing one.  Its a little LUA like in its API calls just because familarity breeds content and the API has worked so well.

A very simple demo that uses the framework is posted below.
Those who have coded in LUA for a while should see some resemblance in the API calls, its dead simple.

package com.dbzoo.xap;
import com.dbzoo.xaplib.*;
public class Demo {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Filter f = new Filter();
        f.add("xap-header", "class", "xapbsc.event");
        f.callback(new FilterCallback() {
            public void filterAction(Frame f) {
                System.out.println("BSC event from " + f.getValue("xap-header", "source"));
            }
        });    
        XapManager.setSource("dbzoo.demo.system");
        XapManager.setUID("FF456700");
        XapManager.process();
    }
}

If anybody is interested in the library code at this point let me know and I'll commit it for general consumption and browsing.

With a java xAP library under my belt I can look at OpenHAB integration which is a Java based thing.   I'm not sure if the xPL code already written is going to help but its start so I can peek at what they have done.   I won't have to use any of their xPL4Java framework which I found overly complicated.

@Vincent:  I also made this java framework spit out the compliant packets that HomeSeer needs, that is sequence xap-headers and its keys in a particular order, which is still their bug btw  :)

I should write a Python one as well just to round my set; C, Lua, Java, Python
