" summary

Argues that every gadget needs a real HTTP interface and shows working code: an open source gateway Zeta (open source Node.js) running on a BeagleBone turns Zigbee sensors and a third‑party Yale lock into a hypermedia API, exposing state, actions and logs via Siren hypermedia and live updates over websockets.
