O$ Omnis meets IOT( hue lights)

[Mayada Al-Kishtini]

Hi,

I agree that the improvement made to OS6 +, re- IOT, will help expanding
Omnis Market.
Just to confirm your thoughts on this topic, last week, I finished a project
that integrated Omnis studio as a view (JS client) with a .Net class as a
controller using JSON.

Hello Rainer,

The IOT interface become a lot easier with Omnis Studio 6 and the addition
of REST support and Json objects. This was part of my discussion at
Euromnis. This really does provide Omnis leverage into this market.

> Rest and Josn is now supported by the newest Omnis versions, but u can
also write your own one (http,  ...) or use a cmdline, java, .net to do this
part and push the data back to omnis.

setup the omnis logic. Examples about sending receiving http rest wrappers :
see the list, the omnis doc, or use the buildin rest features, or a
