It Was Twenty Years Ago Today - Building an OSGi based Smart Home System
summary
OSGi originates as a residential‑gateway platform and still runs real products: an Animus Heart gateway (Linux, OSGi-based) controls Z‑Wave, RF‑433, Bluetooth and Wi‑Fi devices and ties into an Animus Cloud plus Alexa/Google integrations; a management model uses a management agent that polls (default ~10 minutes), firmware bundles, signed service‑application groups and automatic rollback. Declarative services simplify wiring at scale but dynamic services and multithreading remain sources of bugs; legacy bundles from 1999 still run.
