I'm happy that some people are interested in this. I tried 4 or 5
years ago to garner some interest, and there was little.

Let me know when you come up with something.

I realized ages ago that Domo would never happen, because no one
else wanted to work on it, and it's a multi-person project.

What's much more realistic is to get Ruby scripting working
with HomeSeer (www.homeseer.com) one way or another.
That's my current dream.
