So, pimote is still under heavy development.
But libPimote was my first project. It has some very ugly code, which can be much smaller, faster and more reliable.

So currently i'm rewriting libPimote, which will be more stable, faster and customizable. It will support JSon and XML, but because of the flexibility, you can even implement your own language.

I'll post news when the library is almost done.

It's sadly to say, but i had some serious personal problems which stopped my project for a month.

I'm able to find some time, but it's not that much. I can provide screenshots in the next 2 weeks i hope.

Sorry for the inconvenience

Get those RL problems fixed and nevermind the app (until then).

Hey there my dear fellows.

As already said, I had a few problems, sad that it had taken 5 months to get rid of them.

Anyway, I rewrote pimote from scratch and it's based on the new Qt 5 framework. Which means for me: porting on Android/iOS/Maemo/Meego/Mer - Jolla! is only a click away.
It means for you, a flexible way to automate your whole house with any kind of tablet, phone or computer.

How? I tell you how.
Pimote will run on any kind of platform which supports Qt. Even computers like the Raspberry Pi will run pimote.

Pimote is written very flexible, modular, fast, and secure. It provides an Authentication API which you can extend if you want to. And you can connect any device which has a WLan/Lan connection. Your PC, your MediaCenter, your A/V Receiver, your Coffee machine and even your god damn toaster. If it has an API, you can use it.

Great? Maybe - Free? Yeah!

I always was annoyed about the huge cost of remotes and there incompatibility between each other. I will get rid of this problem.

When pimote is in beta state and is doing great on PC's, I'll start to write implementations for other devices. I already have a proof of concept working for my Yamaha A/V Receiver.

Maybe when pimote is doing great, I find a way to publish pimote optimized servers for a cheap price. Maybe a Raspberry PI in a fancy box with WLan and a few Ethernet Ports to connect everything you need.

Let's see how the future goes. I'm looking very wide forward. But for now coding is the only important plan right now before thinking about releasing hardware.

Wish me luck! I'll release the first results here in the next few days.

Have a great weekend!

Good luck, solves something I struggle with often. For each platform I have to use different set of tools, API's and programs.

Are you sure Fremantle can run QT5 things already?

Hey Guys, sorry for the late response. I had again some trouble in my real life, first me, then my girlfriend went to hospital and I had to clear some things up. Had to switch my job too, and now I'm finally able to do something again.

Some information's about the project now. Ive switched to node.js and mongodb for the server. This way it's possible to use pimote on every modern phone using a webbrowser.

It will also make it easier to write extensions for me and other people. I don't have to write a complete server platform since node.js brings it directly.

All you need is a node.js and mongo installation. I don't know how performant this will be on a raspberry pi, but it should run. I hope this time nothing will interrupt my project. Sorry for making you waiting this long time. It really pisses me off to some point.

What ever. Have a great sunday. I will provide details the next days.
