So it turns on when the sprayer does... Much more fun to see the fox being soaked as well. Attach a webcam to the thing too.

Feel free to use the diagram. Further to my ideas the web frontend and interface to mqtt are (at present) based on django. I hope to have some code out in the next week or so. Enjoy LinuxConf!

I don't know whether you've seen but there are "happenings" on github at the moment with a bunch of MQTT-enabled Perl scripts, and related modules for connecting through to Pachube etc - http://github.com/beanz is worth watching :-) On a different note, would you mind if I borrowed your diagram to illustrate a talk I'm giving on MQTT at LinuxConf Australia 2011, with full credit of course? I want to show some of the ways that the technology (and mosquitto / rsmb) is being used. Hi Dan, cool stuff!

Yes, I’d seen that page and it looks like a good option. Ultimately I’m trying to achieve is a way of adding devices (and of course controlling them) in an easy manner via the web frontend.

Last time I tried there was a bug that nobody could track down that prevented it working on 64 bit installations not sure if it's still there. I know you've looked at my experiments before but the one I'm referring to in this case is http://chemicaloliver.net/linux/a-simple-mqtt-to-websocket-bridge-using-mosquitto-and-pywebsocket/ I have done some experiments in this area – it is possible to get the mosquitto python libs working with mod_python and maybe (I haven’t tried) also mod_wsgi to build a web interface.

Yes, something like that. I may use one of the existing python MVP frameworks and see if any are suitable – a task for this weekend I feel.
