By the end of 2009 you could be able to turn on your heating at home, draw curtains and control security cameras using your cellphone!
The makers, Nokia, call it the Nokia Home Control Center. It is a wireless router which can interface with lots of equipment around your home.
The super cool gadget has been shown off by the company at Nokia World 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. It is based on an open Linux-based platform and includes many wireless technologies which allow users to connect to it remotely.
The hope is that third parties will create and integrate their own services as Nokia aims to get in on the “networked home” market.
Key Features:
– expected to be available for consumers fall 2009
– open linux-based platform so third parties can get involved in creating services for it
– 6GB of memory storage (ideal for security cameras)
– the device can work out when the weather changes and automatically turn on/off the heating and many other functions (all functions chosen by user)
