Consider integration/parity with TheThingSystem, to ease discovery of new devices #17

https://github.com/TheThingSystem/steward is a project with very similar goals; nodejs based, at least in terms of discovery and enabling status/indicators to share information.

I believe there's some MQTT support in TTS, and it'd be interesting to see where the two projects can play off of each other's strengths.

A simple first step could be treating a TTS steward instance as an external directory of devices; or recognizing Stewards device A is Skynet.im's device B.

Not for now, but maybe later, i'm also considering the integration of the thing system with meshblu. As a first basic idea, i would suggest to use GateBlu and develop an Plugin. Will let you know, how my progress is...

That's awesome!

Meshblu uses HTTP, WebSockets, MQTT, and CoAP as its first-class protocols. Gateblu allows you to gateway any other protocol into Meshblu. We use it for connecting Phillips Hue lightbulbs, Belkin Wemos, Insteons, Blink1s, etc. but it could also be used for bridging other networks or even legacy RF and/or serial equipment and sensors.

Please let us know if you need any help!!!
