Hi Ricardo,

I haven't done anything with EventMachine for the time being but this
could be a solution for you.

Maybe you want to write a daemon that retrieves sensor data and provides
it through EM (maybe as a webservice) to its clients who'll drive a
simple GUI (something in .NET for example).

-> No polling, no Weblication Overkill, no Database, ...

Just a way I'd go for this.

Florian
