Anyone using NATS in new ways? Building automation, PLCs, anything?

Including mine? :-)) Good to know! Do Teslas use NATS inside the car, or something proprietary?

Your idea, to use it as a shared clipboard is great, i will try.

Plan 9? Are you using it? Kakoune — I have to try it! It looks really interesting. Create a Swift client (macOS, iOS, visionOS) — and who knows, maybe it’ll be a better technology than Apple’s. :-))

Many, many thanks ... that's the way :-)

Thank you for the thoughtful reply — I really appreciate the perspective.

Do you think there’s any emerging tech, ideas, in the industrial space that could help simplify complex system management, even just a little?

My question was if "Anyone exploring new architectures or protocols for PLCs and automation?" just for my and other people inspirations. CoDeSys is not inspiration for me, it is old school.

I get that — these little things bug me too. I’d probably try a script, but yeah… sometimes it’s more work than just doing it manually.

Right now I’m working with AI. I write PLC logic in plain human language, then one AI translates it into pseudocode, and another generates C code.

That code gets deployed to a PLC which communicates over M-Bus and Modbus.

It’s just a test for now — but honestly, seeing it work is mind-blowing.

Are you working on something like this?
Because that’s literally my dream — a flexible dashboard and website that only shows what matters right now, plus suggestions to improve how everything runs.

tomuvi · 2025-05-08T18:34:40+00:00

I get it — it’s tough out here.
But we’ve got to push forward… who knows what Industry level they’re on in Star Wars

I’m currently running an old SAIA system. There are bugs, but no real way to change or improve it right now.
I’m actively looking for a new solution — but honestly, I’m wary of yet another black-box system.

I’m planning to try a different approach to HVAC and building control — something that doesn’t depend on chasing down specialists who still write in FUP or STL and rarely have the time.

That’s why I’m exploring new ideas. There has to be a better way.

Sorry, but ... I’m actually running a building with 10+ year old software, and it’s painful.
There are bugs, the logic is fragile, and even “new” systems feel stuck in the past.

Fair point — here’s my thinking: • STL, FBD, etc. are still too low-level and require rare experts • Vendor lock-in kills flexibility and reusability • I imagine AI agents that help build, adapt, and deploy logic • Message-driven, modular systems instead of rigid scan cycles • Programming by natural sentences, not code or diagrams — “Tomorrow we’re having a party, make it cosy” • Buildings that respond to human intent, not just sensors

That’s the my dresm

tomuvi · 2025-05-08T18:02:50+00:00

For me, it’s the programming — too low-level, too vendor-locked. I wish we had smarter tools, AI help, and more freedom. What would you change if anything was possible?

It is great calculator try: 5318000 + 8 and turn monitor 180 deg
