View source for Instant Messaging Device Template

[[Category:software]]

The Instant Messaging Device is very much like the [[Instant Messaging Template]]. It in fact carries the same commands:

* Send Instant Message
* Set Presence

But we also have a set of events which mirror these two commands.

* IM Message Recieved
* IM Presence Changed

== Implementation in the Local House Messaging Device ==

The Implementation here is basically that we echo events recieved here back onto the bus. 

So we create the basic template:

which defines the instant messaging commands. IM Devices had to be given a new category, so one was created. And since our Instant Messaging commands weren't in that category, we had to manually add them via the pull-down.
