h2. Device node
72
73
Concept of a module unit so each new application doesn't need a new device.

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