The Energy Detective showed the future of energy management. RTI showed the power of distributed reliable industrial communication and robot control. Also health was well served via bluetooth oximeters/heartbeat monitors and EEG Neurosky real-time graphing. Their integration with the energy harvesting Enocean light switches got lots of people excited that wanted to IoT enable their homes and businesses without drilling holes and putting cables. Two fans, two vibration detecting sensor tags, a smart light and some duct tape were all they needed to demo how any industrial gateway can be converted into a predictive maintenance power machine. Dataart showed how predictive maintenance is now ready to be deployed in one drag-and-drop on any cloud via their DeviceHive Juju Charms bundle. The Hybrid Group used gesture control, mind control and even a bar code scanner to control all types of robots. As such xylophone playing robots, Sphero colour changing ball robots, one base wheel balancing Wowwee MIPs, Sunfounder robot spiders & cars, etc. Most of the devices on display either had WiFi, Ethernet or Bluetooth connectivity or at least an extra USB slot to enable them. The Chillhub has open APIs so in the future anybody can integrate with them and make the fridge even smarter. The Beer Bank put an alarm system to protect your beer. GE’s Milky Weigh assured you always knew how much milk you had left in the fridge, even from the other side of the world. The same open source operating system that everybody loves from the cloud now powered the first smart fridge with apps from GE, the first Ubuntu Core drone with apps from Erle-Robotics, industrial gateways with apps, Pengiun Computing professional top of the rack switches with apps, Acer smart home hubs with apps, Netcomm Wireless CPEs with apps, Patton VoIP gateways with apps, Raspberry Pi, TI Beagle Bone, etc.
