> Just as a small outlook, we added an OpenHAB thing/item/channel-like functionality for devices a while ago to be able to have an entry-point to control e.g. Smartplugs or any communication over ModBus, M-Bus, DLMS/COSEM, IEC 61850 (generally smartmeters or EVs) or whatever with only emoncms as a central GUI.

Wow that looks really nice! Looking forward to hearing more about it, looks like it could fit in well with the scheduler I built last year for the energy local project that uses the device module 🙂 [CydYnni, EnergyLocal Community hydro smart grid - blog post - #3 by TrystanLea](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/cydynni-energylocal-community-hydro-smart-grid-blog-post/4762/3)
