It's still work in progress, but in case anyone is looking for something to run devices off and is programmed in Pike. I bought some equipment from www.hapcan.com and then programmed a hapcanmonitor daemon.
The system is successfully running my house.
A quick rundown on the source: - hapcanmonitor + hapcanmonitor.pike (40 KB), the full hapcan core communication driver. + www/x/wildcard.pike (7 KB), the REST/JSON api to the core communication driver. - spike (55 KB), the webserver daemon.
