Yes - there are a good number of sensor sets out there and (like this example) quite a few systemic approaches that parley your data through a third party app - but neither approach does it for me at this stage - although something like that may evolve.
I want my set of interconnected things to self organise a data set about the current state [I am not explaining this well]. To explore such a approach then I will need to write software that explores how multiple data items can construct a body of knowledge (is the wrong word but it will do for now) about the state of the whole. Can't do that through someone else's web app.

They generally run a 'master' program written in some internal scripting language that consists mainly of a bunch of If,Then blocks. These have access to all the sensor states and outputs; it 'wires up' the logic to give a bunch of sensors some rudimentary intelligence. E.g. if (external_lightSensor is OFF) then after 10 minutes, turn on house lights endif if (front_door_reed_switch is ON AND home_alarm is ON) then Send SMS to mobile_phone Turn ON siren for 5 minutes Turn ON stobe for 20 minutes endif
