[aerogear-dev] Sending Push Notifications to a Lego Robot with SimplePush !

Hi everyone ! I just wanted to share the results of my (really) nerdy Sunday. I was able to send a Push Notification to my Lego EV3 Robot using the UnifiedPush Server. The robot throws a ball when it receives the notification :) The robot is under Linux and can run the JVM. I've been using our Java SimplePush client ( https://github.com/aerogear/aerogear-simplepush-java-client) hacked with Matzew's WebSocket Java Client ( https://github.com/matzew/simple-websocket-client). The UPS instance is from the OpenShift Cartridge and the Simple Push Server, is the vert.x version, also running on OpenShift. In this small video I show the Robot and my Android Device both receiving the notification : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uqfcqq42es This is an interesting use of the SimplePush Protocol since every connected device/object is eligible for the UPS ;) Sebi
