PowerMeter - Save Energy. Save Money. Make a Difference. We launched Google PowerMeter as a free energy monitoring tool to raise awareness about the importance of giving people access to their energy information. PowerMeter included key features like visualizations of your energy usage, the ability share information with others, and personalized recommendations to save energy. We partnered with device manufacturers and utilities around the world. We are pleased that PowerMeter helped demonstrate the importance of access to energy information, and created a model for others. We continue to see encouraging results about the importance of access to energy data. Momentum is building toward making energy information more readily accessible, and it’s exciting to see others drive innovation and pursue opportunities in this important new market. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with PowerMeter and look forward to what will develop next in this space.

Le WiFi peut-il devenir le protocole universel de la domotique ? – MyFOX Blog La maison connectée fait face à de nombreux protocoles : Z-Wave, ZigBee, KNX, RF433, Bluetooth, EnOcean, etc. Et si la domotique choisissait le WiFi, un protocole universel que l’on trouve déjà chez à peu près tout le monde ? Le WiFi avait à l’origine pour but de supprimer les câbles Ethernet, et de faire entrer ainsi plus facilement le réseau informatique dans les foyers. C’était au début des années 2000. Le WiFi a ensuite dérivé pour connecter ensemble tous les éléments multimédia de la maison avec l’univers informatique : chaînes HiFi, TV connectée, lecteur DVD/Blu-ray, smartphone, tablette, etc. On le retrouve maintenant dans des objets intelligents qui permettent de « domotiser » sa maison. Les objets connectés les plus visibles, comme la station météo Netatmo ou la balance Withings, communiquent en WiFi. Ce sont des objets isolés, qui ont une fonction, et qui n’ont pas vocation à discuter avec d’autres objets, ni à domotiser la maison en tant que tel.

8 – La connexion réseau 3G J’ai reçu ce matin mon dongle 3G Huawei E220 Je dispose déjà d’une carte SIM Free Mobile avec le forfait à 2€. J’active simplement l’option data à 0,99 €, qui prend effet immédiatement. Vous pouvez trouver ce dongle 3G notamment sur Amazon ici.
