WOSH (Wide Open Smart Home) is an open source and multi-platform framework (message oriented middleware)written in ANSI C++, designed to enable (smart) home automation.
WOSH is a Service Oriented Framework (SOA) providing a (Network) OS independent infrastructure for developing component based software (services, aka bundles), but it ships with many implemented services and some end-user applications (as woshsrv, WorkShop).
WOSH and some components are (partially) based on QT4.
This project is actually released for developers, the current stage is not yet ready for end-users.
Some reasons to use and join the WOSH project are:
* It's free, open source, alive!
* It's modular and growing
* It's easy to plug-in new features (C++ required)
* It has been though to be efficient and intuitive
* It contains state-of-the-art libraries (QT4, gloox, festival, gstreamer010, ..)
* It comes with many built-in services (networking, communication, entertainment, remote control, ..)
Product's homepage
Here are some key features of "WOSH Framework":
· built-in end-user applications: console and graphical both
· distributed computing, 'zero-configuration' networking
· multi-user, role based access
· remote control using Instant Messaging (using libgloox; compatible with GTalk), SMS (send/receive) and call monitoring (on Windows-Mobile, RNDIS connected smart phone)
· appliances and sensors (X10 devices) monitor/control (on POSIX, based on Heyu)
· entertainment, multi-zone media playback (using GStreamer on POSIX or QT Phonon on Windows, VLC). Media-Director service provides a high abstraction layer, the recovery/guess multimedia status, hardware/software shortcuts and more
· centralized communication system (selecting best communication channel), using also interpreters (such as Festival for Text2Speech)
· building abstract-representation of the home and its devices (rooms, lights, audio-box, ..)
· Cron and Automation services, providing support for basic every-day tasks
· many not listed and more to come..
Requirements:
· Qt

· build and tested on Debian Sqeeze
· added String class, many Utitilites functions have been rewritten and moved there
· significant performance improvement
· fixed some memory leaks
· many defines are now declared as C++ constants
· doing some profiling/performance tests (Windows/VS2010)
· Containers rewritten and classes were moved
· added src/common.spec.pri (contains shared stuff from old common.pri)
