Mister House is currently set up only to grok APRS from a serial TNC, but
it could easily be modified to talk to an APRS-IS server instead.

I run MisterHouse at home, but have never bothered working on its APRS
module.  It is pretty primitive, but could be fun to play with when I finally
figure out how to fit a few extra hours into a day.

For example I'd like to be able to write a script/app to keep track of my wife's APRS tracker and take action as appropriate. Perhaps then I'd have it light an LED when she's close to home. I have lots of ideas, but I need to know if I can do it that way or find a way to connect directly to an aprsis server.
