About OSE

Open Smart Environment software is a suite for creating multi-instance applications that work as a single whole.
Imagine, for example, a personal mesh running on various devices including HTPCs, phones, tablets, workstations, servers, Raspberry Pis, home automation gadgets, wearables, drones, etc.

OSE software consists of several npm packages: a framework running on Node.js, an HTML5 frontend, extending packages and a set of example applications.

Set-up of current example applications. Here, OSE provides a Media player running on an HTPC that can be controlled by an IR remote through LIRC and is capable of playing streams from a DVB streamer and control devices through GPIO pins on a Raspberry Pi

For more information about OSE see the documentation.

This is not yet a piece of download-and-use software. It is important to understand the basic principles covered by the documentation.

However, this software has been successfully used continuously since the end of 2013 in a house running 7 OSE instances spread over several Raspberry Pis, notebooks and an HTPC.
