OK, but you have not replied to the remainder of my post, am I to assume that the cloud is not going to happen?

Then why has this been stated without the mention that it is a planned feature, it is under the getting started tutor, this is the statement that has caused the confusion with my stand alone ethernet gateway topic.
I suggest a correction to that statement as being on the things to do list.
It sounds then that Mysensors would be a forerunner in providing a cloud based home automation server, do you plan to make it similar to Domoticz but in the cloud so the gateway is standing alone without any PC interface for it to collect the logging and access on a smartphone or laptop for changing setpoints and output control and such.

The networking page states this:http://www.mysensors.org/about/network
Gateway - passes data to either your home automation controller or to the MySensors Cloud.
How do I access the Mysensors cloud?

Thank you for your reply.
I have misunderstood, so Domotics is a pc app and does not run in the cloud, are there any controllers that do or are they all pc based.

So now do you understand my application, I am now confused by your replies, can you reaffirm a detailed answer please.

Thank you for your reply, what do you mean by gateway to nothing, surely it would be gateway to Domoticz server would it not?

Thank you for your swift reply, sorry but are you saying that the Gateway will operate stand alone.
Can you explain what will not cache sensor data, the gateway? (which would not be a requirment as sensor readings would be logged by Domonicz).

I was unable to find an answer to this anywhere.
I do not really want to keep a laptop on 24/7 just for Domoticz to keep logging/control of mysensors.
Will the ethernet gateway operate as a stand alone device connected into my ISP router, so I can then access it as needed with my laptop or smartphone?
