I am in the process of creating a ipad remote for Domotiga with the use off OpenRemote.
Easy commands like on and off on differend buttons is no problem with http post commands.

What about getting status from devices? to create a "switch" wit On/Off status you need to get the result back fro a http get command. Can I use the XML-RPC implementation to get values of devices or control.
If someone can point me into the direction that i need to follow?

I am willing to help to get it to work.
You can get the devices values and control your devices via the XML-RPC interface.
http://domotiga.nl/projects/domotiga/wiki/XML-RPC
Look here for the implemented methods, if something is missing let me know I will code them.
See
device.getstate and
device.setdevice
If you promise to write some doc and supply examples how to use OpenRemote with Domotiga

That's great Ron! I will share my configuration, documentation, howto's with you so that the whole DomotiGa community can use it. I will send you a PM with the questions I have.

I realize this is an old tread, but as this is one of the few things you can find on Domotiga and Openremote I am responding to it anyway
When I was looking for a decent client for Domotiga I bumped into Openremote.
Domotiga (or actually Gambas) doesn't like the Expect 100-continue header. I don't see this being fixed in Gambas in short term.
So I been thinking about a way to get rid of the header without making changes in Domotiga or Openremote. The quickest and most easy way is to put a proxy in between that strips the Expect header. Added three lines in my Apache config, added <property name="contentType" value="text/xml"> to my controller.xml for the sensors and switches. the only disadvantage is that you need to add the contenttype node to the controller.xml everyttime you sync it.
Finally I can start playing with Openremote and have a decent client for my Home Theatre and lights

Hi Daferra,
I just start my domotic project I have did some research and find domotiga really good except the IHM I would like to have a cheap tablette fix on my wall with a beautiful interface. I have already take a look at openremote. I would like to use is domotiga as controller and openremote for the interface. Do you have some howto's.
My actual setting is a rpi with raspbmc + logitech media server ( squeezbox ) + domotiga as server + rfxcom.
