Pis, home automation gadgets, wearables, drones, etc.

OSE software consists of several npm packages: a framework running
on Node.js, an HTML5 frontend, extending
packages and a set of example applications.

Set-up of current example applications. Here,
OSE provides a Media player running on an HTPC
that can be controlled by an IR remote through
LIRC and is capable of playing streams from a
DVB streamer and control devices through GPIO
pins on a Raspberry Pi

For more information about OSE see the documentation.
