Mentioned in µNews[1] (a YouTube show on embedded hardware), GE has released a small interface board, known as the "Green Bean maker module":
https://firstbuild.com/greenbean/ The board connects to the appliance via an RJ45 cable (not Ethernet) and then has a USB connector to attach to your controlling device (laptop, Raspberry Pi). Code on Github (uses node.js): https://github.com/firstbuild/green-bean Example code illustrates how to read the cycle status from a dishwasher, start a cook mode on an oven, receive a temperature alert from a refrigerator, receive an end-of-cycle alert from a clothes dryer, or adjusting the temperature on a hot water heater. Pretty cool that a mainstream appliance manufacturer is supporting this sort of open API. -Tom 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrdQSKUiU2Q _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
