3 1 Hammel
4
h3. voice control interface to infrastructure
5
6
* mobile
7
* Jarvis
8
* home UIs - NEST-like
9
* Follow-Me architecture - voice control follows you around the home.
10
11
h3. futuristic media display system
12
13
* display on glass w/
14
** static opaqueness
15
** variable opaqueness
16
* Heads up
17
* Motion capture
18
19
h3. system control
20
21
* thermostatic and vent
22
* windows/shades/blinds
23
* garden
24
25
h3. robotic assistance
26
27
h3. controlled access: doors, windows, garage
28
29
h3. security cameras
30
31
h3. controllable power: outlets, lights
32
33
h3. resource management:
34
35
* what do you need (toilet paper, eggs)
36
37
h3. Monitoring: utilities
38
39
* location: humans, pets, visitors
40
41
h3. Media devices
42
43
h3. home data center
44
45
h2. Device node
46
47
Concept of a module unit so each new application doesn't need a new device.
48
49
* esp8266 for IoT
50
* CHiP/RPi Zero for subnodes
51
* RPi quad for master
52
* No Intel - ARM or related
53
* Want a reusable minimal component
54
55
h2. Products
56
57
* server box - master @ home, could have multiple, distributed in a single home
58
* subnode - manages a collection of devices, reports to master
59
* nodes - IoT, media servers - any "thing" that is an endpoint
60
61
h2. Problems
62
63
* Margins: 80-100% initially, %30 sustained
64
* Cost: $80 per outlet would not be reasonable
65
* wired network (wireline electrical)?
66
* wifi problems?
67
** g - interference
68
** n - faster, still interference?
69
** ac - best?  not in esp8266?
70
** could we use non-wifi comm?
71
* Comm security
72
* power IoT - must last a long time
73
** power harvesting
74
** minimal power for comm - save most for control of device
75
* Mechanical experience
76
* Data band vs Control band
77
** wifi for data
78
** bluetooth or other RF for control
79
* No cloud - network comm is private, not to 3rd party
80
** Add on: we manage a server
81
82
h2. What is the MVP?
83
84
* Proof of Concept:  defined by Feb 20th
85
* 1st product:  definition by end of April
86
* Danny - Jasper project working code - integrate with Jarvis?
87
* Mike - PiBox, builds and infrastructure, UI maybe
88
89
h2. How do we divvy the work?
90
91
* Electrical: Danny, Mike
92
* Software: Mike, Danny
93
94
h2. What's already out  there?
95
96
* what niches are not being filled?
97
* what niches are we competing against?
98
99
h2. Things to look at?
100
101
* Wink - home automation/IoT company
102
** app-celerator - write Javascript, compile into mobile-specific apps
103
* Blynk - home automation mobile dev tool
