GitLab

The Git repositories contains for now:

  • xAAL specifications and schemas
  • xAAL stacks in Python and in C
  • gatways to various home-automation protocols (X10, KNX, Z-Wave)

Sart a dummy lamp:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH+=:. ./dummyLamp -a 224.0.29.200 -p 1234
Device: 1af9225a-f771-4b4a-aa77-139fe486d24c
  .  Off

In another terminal, start a dummy HMI dedicated to command lamps, play with it, and watch the effects on the dummy lamp:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH+=:. ./lampCommander -a 224.0.29.200 -p 1234
Device: 542b7e35-4545-464d-b440-1ef290f0631b
