EDF
R&D (French Energy Provider) and Pleyo (Software Editor, Web-enabler
for Consumer Electronic devices) jointly provided an IVY extension
mechanism for Origyn Web Browser (OWB) - the open-source Web Browser
for Consumer Electronic devices - to www.sand-labs.org.
IVY is an open-source, lightweight protocol developed by the CENA.
It has several implementations in different languages and is used
to enable communications between heterogeneous applications.
This extension aims at providing a way to operate IVY directly
in Javascript from the browser, bringing IVY-based application development
to a new level of Time-to-Market and User Interactivity.
This protocol is provided with two applications which leverage
the support of IVY.
The first one uses IVY to control X10 appliances (Ivy-X10 subdirectory)
and the second one uses IVY to show alert notifications on a Web
page (IvyAlert subdirectory).
X10 with « OWB + IVY Web Extension »
X10 is a Home-Networking Protocol, used to control domotic devices.
OWB together with the IVY Web Extension will send commands over
the network using IVY protocol to an IVY-X10 gateway. The gateway
will then send commands to the X10 appliances.
This application shows the concept of a domotic control over a
Web-browser environment, probably the starting point of an over-the-air
control using a Cellular Phone or an IP-enabled Set-Top Box.
Alert management through IVY
This application is used to spread an alert mechanism on a network
through the IVY protocol. The Javascript part handles the alert
notification to trigger an event.
This sample could be extended to control any device through IVY
on a home-networking environment.
