I'm looking forward to getting on board the CastleOS, and losing my bank balance to the home automation addiction.
As a web developer, I work a lot with REST API's, which run over HTTP.
I would really like to be able to extend the features of CastleOS with a REST API if possible. I haven't downloaded CastleOS yet to play with, but ideally I'd like to know:
1. Can CastleOS call external HTTP API's, or be taught how to? I'll take a look at the scripting tools available, but I've never created something in C. Some ideas that could be used include the "fluffy" ones like "post a tweet" or read Facebook status. But with HTTP API's there's a lot that can be done.
2. Can CastleOS be manipulated by a HTTP API? For example. a local webserver calling CastleOS via HTTP to turn on lights or the TV?
The only slight mention I found was in a previous topic, but it hasn't had much activity:
