Re: MCE, VLC, or iTunes

Hmmm.... Sounds like its going to be a daunting task...
I think I'm going to take a shot at it though.

The zwave commander from melloware supports HTTP GET.
So right now I'm able to send commands to it. However, I also
want to get two way feedback. I take it, that the commandfusion
protocol will need to be built into the server code.... otherwise
I can just use simulated feedback...
