Having a first deeper look at scal I believe that access to sensors
and actors could be implemented inside scal similar to the existing
shell and system backends. That would be nice, as then scal would
make things available on ubus and provide the ACL mechanics.

I'll have a deeper look and play with it to see whether that can
work.

Ideally, data collection (think: interface counters and such things
which need to be polled) and triggering events (think: link status
updates) should also be made accessible.

A local database which exceeds UCI state as suggested by Luka could
also be very useful, eg. for renewable energy or other applications
where loss of connectivity should never imply loss of collected data.


Cheers
