Another hobby of mine is home automation. This allows lights, video, music, cameras etc to be controlled by scripts, remotes etc. I would like to be able to control my Apex from my home automation system. A simple application would be to dim the tank lights when I want to watch a movie. I know that I can do this from my iphone with the apex app. But I would like to make it an automatic part of a script that controls the house lighting, the TV, etc.
Does Apex have a TCP protocol that would allow an external application to control outlets, feedings etc? I have tried using the Telnet interface with limited success. Telnet is designed with a human interface so it gets difficult for my home automation system to handle.
