h2. Device node
71
72
Concept of a module unit so each new application doesn't need a new device.

* "RPi 2 Model B":https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/pi-zero/ quad-core for master nodes
79
* No Intel - Only ARM or related
80 1 Hammel
* Want a reusable minimal component
81
82
h2. Products
83
84
* server box - master @ home, could have multiple, distributed in a single home
85
* subnode - manages a collection of devices, reports to master
86
* nodes - IoT, media servers - any "thing" that is an endpoint
87
88
h2. Problems
89
90
* Margins: 80-100% initially, %30 sustained
91
* Cost: $80 per outlet would not be reasonable
92
* wired network (wireline electrical)?
93
* wifi problems?
94
** g - interference
95
** n - faster, still interference?
96
** ac - best?  not in esp8266?
97
** could we use non-wifi comm?
98
* Comm security
99
* power IoT - must last a long time
100
** power harvesting
101
** minimal power for comm - save most for control of device
102
* Mechanical experience
103
* Data band vs Control band
104
** wifi for data
105
** bluetooth or other RF for control
106
* No cloud - network comm is private, not to 3rd party
107
** Add on: we manage a server
108

110
111
* Proof of Concept:  defined by Feb 20th
112
* 1st product:  definition by end of April
113 2 Hammel
* Danny - Jasper project working code - integrate with "Jarvis":https://gitlab.com/groups/xjarvis?
114
* Mike - "PiBox":http://www.graphics-muse.org/wiki/pmwiki.php/RaspberryPi/RaspberryPi, builds and infrastructure, UI maybe
