Nintendo DS as domotica controller

[AshaiRey]

Hi,

I have created a working setup to use a Nintendo DS as a controller for various domotica systems.
Now, i would like to know if there is intressed in this or not. If not then i would just develope HS control further and I won't put any extra effort into adding control for other systems.

Clearly no intresse in this.
Conclusion: i will make this piece of code suited just for my own situation.

Hi, can I have some details about your project?
Thanks

[AshaiRey]

Sure,

I made a server app that can talk to HomeSeer to do the interaction with HS and to process the requests. It can also be done with an asp.net web page but that is a bit slower in response.
On the Nintendo DS i have made a client app in with my devices and events are shown and can be controlled. The Nintendo DS app talks with the server app or asp.net webpage to give the commands and to get the response if needed. The Nintendo DS is used as a remote control for my domotica system. The setup can be used also for other domotica systems but because there wasn't much intressed i didn't look deeper into that part and just concentrated on getting it to work in my own system.

Very interesting! Our domotic software is written in Java, but we are developing a restful service to expose objects, commands, environments to communicate with other applications using xml and json.
Do you think that your Nintendo DS could be a possible client?
Thanks

I think it would be possible.
But if you want to use json or xml then you have to program something your own because i am not using that to minimise as much overhead as possible. The reason is that the DS has a theoratical bandwidth of just 2 mbit. Also you have a memory restriction of 4Mb to work with. Practical this means about 2-3Mb for code. However it's possible to offload much data and graphics to a file system object.
