Considering Domitacz

[jonbanjo]

I'm toying with ditching my own rather cobbled code in favour of domoticz (probably running on a rasp pi) and have a couple of questions regarding supported devices, etc.

I notice mention of a couple of X10 interfaces but is the W800RF32 receiver supported?

Is there support for a Visonic Powermax Complete with the serial interface fitted?

I'm using a Foscam clone as a motion sensor. The device only sends email noifications so I have it email my system which treats the mail as a motion event an optionally forwards the mail to my real email address. Is there a way of getting similar functionality (ie without having to run motion sensing code)?

I have read that one can write plugins but are there simpler methods of getting "non standard" devices to work with domoticz?

My current stuff uses/abuses XPL. Using my stand alone attempt with the Visonic as an example. I just need to "invent" a new XPL schema for the database:

Schema Table - schemaid:visonic.jf, addresstype:ac, ignoreproperties,address,unit, Action:update
SchemaCommandSet Table - commandsetid:visonic, schemaid:visonic.jf
SchemaCommand Table - (3 simple entries for armhome, armaway and disarm)

That's it, the ha program has all it needs. In the program, I then just create an interface and a few devices (Address,Unit: Visonic:System - gives last event, Visonic:Panel gives status, ie. armed/disarmed, ready/not ready and Visonic.zonexx the status of the xx zone as it changes). I'd imagine things would be more complicated for something advanced like domoticz but would prefer not to get involved in c and plugins.

My stuff uses javascript (via Java Rhino) to handle events. Just in case I found I needed it, am I right in thinking that Lua scripts would provide similar funtionality, ie. allow you to get info like the status of a device and send a command to a device?
