can EmonCMS send command back to Gateway

Can EmonCMS send command or data to gateway?  Switch OFF/ON for example. EmonCMS installed in the remote server.

The OEM_gateway can do this through a listener socket. See Jerome's latest post explaining on this thread: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/3693

Not exactly.

There is a repeater that transmits data received on a socket to the other nodes via the RFM2Pi module.

But

- there is no module in emoncms to write to the socket (and there is no authentication so it is not advised to use this feature on a public network)

- this allows to send data to the other nodes, but there is currently no mean to start/stop the gateway (or change any other parameter). The use case is to command some other node, for instance to switch on/off a boiler, or some lights. It can also be used to reprogram the RFM2 (nodeID, freq,...).

I don't think there is anything currently that answers ulzii's request.
