POCO Universal Plug and Play

Universal Plug and Play

A modular and extensible C++ framework for implementing UPnP™ capable devices and applications. Based on the POCO C++ Libraries and the Applied Informatics Remoting framework, the Applied Informatics Universal Plug and Play framework is a powerful foundation
for building consumer electronics, home automation, or industrial devices that must be integrated into a UPnP network.

HIGHLIGHTS

an implementation of the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) for automatic device and service discovery

an implementation of UPnP SOAP for device control and the General Event Notification Architecture (GENA), based on the Remoting framework

helper classes for implementing evented state variables

automatic service code generation from UPnP XML service descriptions

modular and extensible implementation (e.g., it's possible to use the SSDP protocol for device/service discovery alone without incurring the overhead of the SOAP and GENA libraries)

efficient design — a single web server instance can provide UPnP services, media streaming and the web-based user interface for device configuration, control and monitoring

sample code and example applications for Media Server, Lighting Controls (device and control point) and Internet Gateway (control point)
