This is quite incredible as things still can’t talk to each other horizontally.

In 1886, the German physicist Heinrich Hertz first demonstrated the existence of radio waves, which in honor of him are also called Hertzian waves. His purpose was to test the electromagnetic theory proposed a couple of decades earlier by James Clerk Maxwell. The curious thing is that when his students asked him what the applications might be of his discovery, he replied: “It’s of no use whatsoever.” Hertz deserved a ten as a scientist, but a zero as a futurist. Today his waves are ubiquitous, and not just

So what is the options. Quit? Abandon the ship?

Databases coming to #VSCP
With the SQLITE3 integration into VSCP a lot more information will be available through the websocket/tcp/ip/REST interfaces. Accompanying web interface code will follow this. The result is hopefully a simplified configuration interface. Remotely accessible of course.
