XMLRPC API

[RDNZL]

Have build a simple XMLRPC server inside domotiga (written in Gambas ofcourse).
So webpages and programs (clients) can query and set things.

I only have to program the methods to do this.

Now which one do we need?

domotiga.setdevice
domotiga.getdevice
domotiga.listdevices
domotiga.gethousestatus
domotiga.sethousestatus
domotiga.speak
domotiga.playsound
domotiga.getlastcaller

Anyone have a list of these, I was thinking more home automation software have an xmlrpc api builtin, but cannot find one LOL...

Suggestions are welcome.

Now I only have some system and test methods:
----
Sending the following request:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>system.listMethods</methodName>
<params>
</params>
</methodCall>

Debug info of server data follows...

---GOT---
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Content-Length: 533
Content-Type: text/xml
Server: Gambas RPC Server

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param>
<value>
<array>
<data>
<value>
<string>system.listMethods</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>system.methodHelp</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>system.methodSignature</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>examples.ping</string>
</value>
<value>
<string>examples.getStateName</string>
</value>
</data>
</array>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

---END---

HEADER: connection: close
HEADER: content-length: 533
HEADER: content-type: text/xml
HEADER: server: Gambas RPC Server

I think best is to start "somewhere" along the way you will find what is needed though, you can always add more.

I use something similar for communication between Pronto, iPod, website with my Domotica app.
New functionality is added on demand, not as in 'what shall i make today?'.

I could bump into a showstopper, something that I need and is not possible with the current xmlrpc protocol/server, I rather find that out now, then later.
I have not done any studies beforehand...

The fact that almost no home automation program has an xmlrpc api worries me

I wouldn't worry to much about that, just follow your instinct - it has brought you this far, so if you face any new challenges in the future, you can handle them

How philosophical;-)

Thanks Dr. Robert [8D]

Your advise resulted in me building this.
