6LoWPAN Christmas Tree

December 23, 2009 Leave a comment

For the past 6 weeks I have been a beta user of a new 6LoWPAN-based home energy pilot system from the UbiCity project called UBI-AMI (Ubiquitous Automatic Metering Infrastructure). I now have what is likely the world’s first 6LoWPAN controlled Christmas tree – turned on and off from a handy web interface. Nerdy, I know! This tops off lots of other useful things like controlling the car heater and fixing an energy guzzling freezer. More about UBI-AMI in 2010…

Merry Christmas to everyone!
