Control Infrastructure for Physical Devices
Dectrl
DCP, the Dectrl Control Protocol, is one protocol between your hardware and anything that wants to drive it. Wire a machine up once, describe what it can do, and every control surface already speaks it.

Device control has rails, but it has never had a platform. Every bus is its own integration, and every device ends up growing its own app. Dectrl is the layer above them. A Translator wires into whatever your machine already speaks (GPIO, I2C, SPI, UART) and turns it into functions you can call and values you can read. Describe the device once and the controls are a consequence: the iPad app draws its interface straight from that descriptor, so nobody designs a screen and your second device doesn’t need a second app. The whole protocol is six methods of line-delimited JSON over the local network, with Python and C++ SDKs, free to implement and yours to ship in your own product. Nothing leaves the building, and nothing drives your hardware without the pairing key.
