Is the device capable of pushing information out too? Or do I need to ping it at regular intervals to get an update or status change in something?

It just seems like it would be great for push tasks, but what about when I want it to send notification or device info.

(I've put together R Pis for exactly this type of thing, and having an entire OS for it is a little overkill)

Very easy to publish an event stream from your code, and to pipe those wherever :) http://docs.spark.io/firmware/#spark-publish
