Support for a virtual COM-port allowing other Homeautomation software use a TellStick Net

Reported by: stephane dierick <sdierick@…> Owned by:
Priority: minor Milestone: Some future release / Patches welcome
Component: telldus-core Version: 2.1.0
Keywords: Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: Windows Sensitive:
Verified by Telldus: no

Description

I would suggest to develop a specific driver that could:

  • From one side, emulate a viruel USB/COM port so it could be used by the several existing home automation softwares (homeseer,...)
  • At the other side, convert the instruction sent to virtual COM port into TCP requests for the Telldus Net. That could be implemented in SOAP or RAW TCP or UDP depending what the telldusnet device is supporting easyly.

Check that GPL project:

 http://com0com.sourceforge.net/doc/UsingCom0com.pdf

Part of this master project based on virtual com port pairing:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/

Problems:

  • Windows based software
  • Need to be adapted because we don't want to connect like This

PC.A--virtualCOM------tcp------virtualCOM--PC.B
but
PC.A--virtualCOM------tcp (or UDP??)------TelldusNet

  • Milestone set to Some future release / Patches welcome

Since this project is released under GPL we cannot use any code in our project.
We have to rewrite the same functionality in our code or use the software "as is".
