[kura-dev] FW: New reply to Re: Combination of Eclipse Kura & Smarthome by Greg EVA

Title: Eclipse Community Forums
FYI – there’s an interesting discussion on combining Eclipse Kura & Eclipse SmartHome on the SmartHome forum. I think some people from the Kura project may want to participate in it :)

About Kura, I don't know if anybody has ever tried it. What would be the benefit of having both running together?


The two projects certainly have overlap, however Kura is more focused on providing a remotely managed smart gateway (cloud to edge), whereas ESH is more focused on the actual integration of various devices/networks (edge to sensor/device).

The two projects coupled together would provide very broad and rich capabilities, and they already have a number of commonalities:


    Eclipse IoT projects
    OSGi
    MQTT (Kura is pretty much based on it)


One thing about Kura which is quite nice, interesting, and simple to enhance is the web UI. Adding centralized MQTT, XML, web UI configuration for an OSGi bundle is all done through one easy to use interface and plugs automatically into the main Kura web configuration. This would for example make remote management and configuration of ESH easier (however the configuration file structure would need to be changed).

Kura also provides a nice way of handling updates.... and can run on very light distributions of Linux without a full package manager to handle updates.
