Operational Specification

5. Third Party API

We are using a protocol called Ember+ for the IP control so all control and
status messages are available to third parties using Ember+.

There is a simple app (EmberPlusViewer) for a Windows PC that can be
invoked to show this functionality and Ember+ is a freely usable protocol.
We will publish relevant schemas as we develop them, with full
specifications of the parameters used.

We also have available a simple PC application that will use Bonjour
(mDNS-SD) to show devices available on the network and to provide basic
device info about them.
