Pachube and EEML
25 January 2009 | Posted by Jeffrey Barke | 2 comments
Pachube is a Web service for sharing real time sensor data from objects, devices, building and environments around the world. It makes use of Extended Environments Markup Language (EEML), an XML-based protocol that is designed to work Industry Foundation Classes.
The API supports requests in EEML and CSV. An EEML Processing library is available to connect directly to Pachube without needing to know or understand EEML and several applications are available.
Pachube was initiated by Haque Design + Research. It's currently in closed beta, but an invitation code can be requested. I just requested mine, so I haven't had a chance to actually use the service yet.
Jeffrey Barke is senior developer and information architect at theMechanism - New York, a multimedia firm with offices in New York, London and Durban, South Africa.

We’ve got a couple of Pachube keys left, if anybody needs them. We put together a very simple Ruby library to connect to Pachube and request data from the feeds. Its name is Pachubero, you can find additional info here:

Have fun with it!

I’d love a code if you’ve got a spare.
I’m intrigued to start logging the small things in life.
Thanks.
