Lifted shamelessly from the SL forums,
a thread posted by Ernie McElroy:

I want to make some components, which can be used within Second Life consisting of domotic elements lighting, and motion detection.
The components are basically objects with specific properties, which consist of: lights, sockets and detectors, linked to similar devices in Real Life, through an appropriate interface, so that when a light turns on (home automation) of RL, it would displaye the same in SL and vice versa. The presence of people could be seen in SL as n avatar robot, and the presence of fire as a signal on a monitor in SL or an adequate simulation.
To make these components is necessary to establish a way of sending a frame with code between the components and the viewer of SL and/or external to it, and the opposite.
The frame should carry three facts essential to the environment domotic: 1) the function to perform, 2) the address of the recipient device and 3) the address of the device's data.
As with all devices domotic, the reasonable limit for addresses is 1 byte, and one byte for instruction. This frame would contain only 3 bytes, not taking into consideration the bytes encapsulated in the protocol.
Regarding the object-installed SL, could be such a "light switch", which operate script or activate single-shot routine, informing the recipient device to function in SL and in turn to the customer within or outside the SL viewer.
On the other hand, an object "Light", set in properties with a certain direction, the script would be detected and emulate lighting accordingly.
The devices consist of RL domotic of a PC interface of any of the networks domotic standard X-10, AX-10, Domolon, and so on. or developed for that purpose, which in my case I use a Rabbit RCM3000 module with a C program and connected by ethernet with domotic control program on a PC, where SL also runs Viewer, but this configuration can be adapted according to the needs of the project.
If there is any similar development and functioning, I apologize, otherwise I would welcome the opportunity to contribute and receive any and all information regarding an opportunity to contribute in the development and or enhancment of such project

I want to ask for thoughts about improving the world -- what do people need? How can things be organised?
