1 1 Hammel
h3. voice control interface to infrastructure
2
3
* mobile
4
* Jarvis
5
* home UIs - NEST-like
6
* Follow-Me architecture - voice control follows you around the home.
7
8
h3. futuristic media display system
9
10
* display on glass w/
11
** static opaqueness
12
** variable opaqueness
13
* Heads up
14
* Motion capture
15
16
h3. system control
17
18
* thermostatic and vent
19
* windows/shades/blinds
20
* garden
21
22
h3. robotic assistance
23
24
h3. controlled access: doors, windows, garage
25
26
h3. security cameras
27
28
h3. controllable power: outlets, lights
29
30
h3. resource management:
31
32
* what do you need (toilet paper, eggs)
33
34
h3. Monitoring: utilities
35
36
* location: humans, pets, visitors
37
38
h3. Media devices
39
40
h3. home data center
41
42
h2. Device node
43
44
Concept of a module unit so each new application doesn't need a new device.
45
46
* esp8266 for IoT
47
* CHiP/RPi Zero for subnodes
48
* RPi quad for master
49
* No Intel - ARM or related
50
* Want a reusable minimal component
51
52
h2. Products
53
54
* server box - master @ home, could have multiple, distributed in a single home
55
* subnode - manages a collection of devices, reports to master
56
* nodes - IoT, media servers - any "thing" that is an endpoint
57
58
h2. Problems
59
60
* Margins: 80-100% initially, %30 sustained
61
* Cost: $80 per outlet would not be reasonable
62
* wired network (wireline electrical)?
63
* wifi problems?
64
** g - interference
65
** n - faster, still interference?
66
** ac - best?  not in esp8266?
67
** could we use non-wifi comm?
68
* Comm security
69
* power IoT - must last a long time
70
** power harvesting
71
** minimal power for comm - save most for control of device
72
* Mechanical experience
73
* Data band vs Control band
74
** wifi for data
75
** bluetooth or other RF for control
76
* No cloud - network comm is private, not to 3rd party
77
** Add on: we manage a server
78
79
h2. What is the MVP?
80
81
* Proof of Concept:  defined by Feb 20th
82
* 1st product:  definition by end of April
83
* Danny - Jasper project working code - integrate with Jarvis?
84
* Mike - PiBox, builds and infrastructure, UI maybe
85
86
h2. How do we divvy the work?
87
88
* Electrical: Danny, Mike
89
* Software: Mike, Danny
90
91
h2. What's already out  there?
92
93
* what niches are not being filled?
94
* what niches are we competing against?
95
96
h2. Things to look at?
97
98
* Wink - home automation/IoT company
99
** app-celerator - write Javascript, compile into mobile-specific apps
100
* Blynk - home automation mobile dev tool
