| [iot-wg] OSGi EnOcean Driver Reference Implementation |
| All, As a follow-up on our discussion at EclipseCon Europe last year, I would like to inform you that I have received a code contribution (https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/pull/155) for the reference implementation of OSGi RfC 199 (https://github.com/osgi/design/blob/master/rfcs/rfc0199/rfc-0199-EnOceanDeviceService.pdf?raw=true) implemented by Orange. I think it is very nice to have one important home automation protocol implementation at Eclipse IoT this way. We will maintain it as a part of Eclipse SmartHome as it didn’t feel to be worth the overhead of an independent project. There is just one concern that I still have before creating a CQ for the contribution: As EnOcean requires a USB dongle, the driver currently requires an RXTX bundle on the runtime. As RXTX is under LGPL, this is no option for Eclipse. What should I resort to? I see that Kura uses javax.comm as an API and org.eclipse.soda.dk.comm as an implementation. Is this the recommended way? Is this library stable and reliable? In this case I would probably have to ask Orange to change their code to use javax.comm instead of rxtx. Any hints are welcome! Thanks, Kai |
