- All PHP modules can be used:
  - Thread support using the PHP module "pthreads".
  - Low level peripheral support:
    - Directly access serial devices, I²C devices and GPIOs.
    - You immediately get notified on new data and GPIO state changes. No polling is necessary.
    - Using threads you can implement bidirectional and event driven communication.
- A base library to easily implement your own device families.
- XML device description files with PHP script support to easily implement individual devices.
- Support for customized licensing modules supporting module online activation, license verification and script encryption.
