I'm using LMS 7.7.2 - r33893 - this is the only version the plugin is
tested for.

I used python because there are plenty examples to start from. Python is
very popular on RPi; there are libraries which make the access to the
GPIO pins pretty simple. In my server I did not use them because I
forward the commands to 433MHz devices, but another option would be to
directly switch connected relays - in that case usage of Python would be
more beneficial I think.

Anyway, you can choose a server written in any language - obviously the
plugin does not make any assumptions on the server implementation.

On the SBNetIO Homepage I added a link to a simple server implemented in
Java by the NetIO team:

http://netio.davideickhoff.de/tutorials#pc

This can be setup in minutes on a PC for test purposes. 

But I think the real problem is, that the plugin currently does only
support TCP communication - so, to use it with your ISY device would
require to setup a Pi (or whatever hardware) to launch wget/curl scripts
to establich a REST based communication between the plugn and the ISY.

I think best would be to enhance the plugin to also support http - then
the plugin could directly communicate with your ISY device without the
need of having a intermediate device.

Support of http was on my roadmap anyway - but since I had no real use
case I havn't done it yet. I would appreciate if you could give me some
details on the REST cmds you want send, and the expected reaction. Then
I will update the plugin accordingly.

I will leave for ski vacation today and will be back on Jan. 6th. After
my return I can do the needed changes.
