Funny I should stumble across this thread from last year, as I've suddenly come into a case where I'd really like to be able to tap the RSS feed remotely for status of a sensor or sensors. I admit I've never had a use for an RSS feed really, but am wondering if this is the avenue to achieve "push" style notices on mobile devices or tablets via an app running there polling the feed and pushing status notifications to the user.
I need a very "passive" sort of "my phone buzzed and it's telling me the door was opened" sort of use for a totally non-technical type user.
I'm failing to assemble the right URL though to get to that darned feed. Is that something I can tap with some RSS reader type app on an iOS or Android device?
Seems like this one should be hitting me over the head with obviousness, but alas it is not.
Any pointers are appreciated!
