Logging through revisions or nodes
I've managed to integrate my home automation into drupal.
Every event that occurs on my domotica-network (CAN), can be send to my drupal site.
Also i can send events from my drupal site to the domotica-network (and so i can switch the lights, ...).
Also it's integrate with the rules module to for example send an email when some event occures on the domotica-network.
Now, i was looking to create a manner to log events.
Every type of event, has his corresponding node (event node-type) within drupal. The node will be updated when tesame event occures.
IPHONE-JSON
I am from the industrial controls world, where we use a lot of embedded controls. I see no reason why drupal would not be an excellent batch scheduling system. Its almost perfect infact.
But there is just one glaring problem with it that I can not figure out at the moment, and I could really use some help. Its the DATASOURCE module. is it really working? and where is the documentation.
What web enabled mobile device do you own? iPhone? Blackberry? G1? Something else?

- Location-awareness of people/things
- RFID event repository with associated workflows

Device integration with Drupal
Is there any active activity in this area? It is very much of interest to me and an area of expertise for me. I'm also involved in similar initiatives in the commercial, academic, and community areas (Pachube, Burning Sky Software, "Web of Things", others).
