Really comes down to http is definitely on and whether you really would
like to offer remote control/commands via email for the clueful and
choosing between a more user friendly pop/imap option the less clueful
or embedding an mta to accept email for those who are willing to setup
the infrastructure. Checking a mailbox for commands is probably the
simplest way of receiving commands from the user when the user is not at
home and does not know how to setup a vpn, ddns, or port forwarding.
If your devices talk to each other and negotiate stuff, then also a
custom protocol or as per Alvin's insistence you could use mdns/bonjour
and smtp I suppose. Maybe he can explain he gets his servlets/web
services to be remote controlled by smtp.
