I have released a new open-source framework called uecho-rs. This framework is a portable, cross-platform development tool designed for Rust developers to create controller and device applications for ECHONET-Lite, an open standard specification for IoT devices in Japan. ECHONET-Lite specifies more than 100 IoT devices, including crime prevention sensors, air conditioners, and refrigerators.

What is uEcho?

uecho-rs is a comprehensive framework for ECHONET-Lite development in Rust. Previously, to implement IoT controllers or devices for ECHONET-Lite, developers needed to understand and implement the communication middleware specification, including the message format and base sequences.

uecho-rs provides major components that allow for the control of ECHONET-Lite devices and the creation of standard ECHONET-Lite devices easily, without requiring in-depth knowledge of the ECHONET-Lite specification.
