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!

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.
