xAP Home Automation protocol

The primary design objectives are:

• Simple, easy to implement/retrofit
• Suitable for use with a wide range of processing capabilities, from embedded controllers to fully fledged PC's
• Operating system agnostic
• Programming language agnostic
• Network agnostic

What does it do?

Put simply, xAP provides the glue to interconnect different applications and devices within the home. It's an open standard, so anyone can create a xAP aware applications or devices. Any xAP device can potentially communicate with any other xAP device with the minimum of fuss, allowing you to, say, control your heating from a Slim MP3 player or display the name of a person calling your home phone on your TV screen.
