xAP Home Automation protocol

xAP is an open protocol intended to support the integration of telemetry and control devices primarily within the home - it is the glue that supports the interconnectivity of Home Automation devices.

The primary design objectives are:

• Simple, easy to implement/retrofit
• Suitable for use with a wide range of processing capabilities, from embedded controllers to fully fledged PC's
• Operating system agnostic
• Programming language agnostic
• Network agnostic

These are lofty design goals, and initial implementation is currently focussed on IP based networks, PC's running Win/32 and Linux including Raspberry Pi, Beagle Bone, Arduino and Rabbit embedded microcontrollers.
