Currently there is no generic API to start/stop a real-time stream except by controlling the system or sensor driver directly.
It would be useful to have this so that streaming can be started in a standard way from all consumer facing web services and APIs. This would allow our web APIs to act as a proxy to a backend service that provides real-time streams without keeping the stream always-on between backend and OSH. This is especially of interest when proxying a backend service that exposes a large number of data feeds.
