Ever since I started thinking about mobile one of my favorite train of thoughs has been how to check how things are going at home from the mobile device, get the coffee machine going before I come home or to check if the lights are out. It’s no longer speculation now, it’s been done! Check out bwired.nl. Not sure who’s behind this project but the guy has wired is house top to bottom, webcams everywhere, gas and power meter cabled, phone system, GPS enabled PDA shows his location when he’s outside, etc. etc. And on top he has a mobile web site to check things out with the mobile phone. Via SMS or voice server, lights and other things can be controlled remotely. The website shows power, gas, water consumption, streaming videos from the camera, etc. etc. etc. in realtime. Cool stuff. Envy creeping up here…
