How to control your Smart Appliances (and why) with JEMMA & Arduino Yùn (held at Casa Jasmina)

We just published on SlideShare some slides which has been presented  to a group of makers at the Torino Mini Maker Faire 2015.

The location was quite special - the kitchen of Casa Jasmina - a really visionary and interesting project. A great opportunity to meet and listen to real IoT and Technology legends such as Bruce Sterling, Jasmina  Tesanovic (does the name sounds familiar ?) and Arduino's dad Massimo Banzi.

 

The slides include a walk-through tutorial which shows how to make a very simple button using an Arduino Yun and configure it to control Smart Appliances compatible with the Energy@home eco-system (full code available here). In the tutorial we also shortly presented how to call the JEMMA DAL API via Javascript - using the test environment supplied with JEMMA.


The tutorial has been performed by Riccardo Tomasi (Istituto Superiore Mario Boella - ISMB) and Ivan Grimaldi (Telecom Italia), both members of the Energy@home reference implementation working group and core JEMMA developers.



During the tutorial we also had the opportunity to show some nice examples of project using some JEMMA components, including a nice demo prepared by Danny Noferi and his colleagues of the JOL S-CUBE (Milan) which have shown how to interact with appliances using augmented-reality or voice control techniques.



To provide ideas about how some innovative projects are using Smart Appliances today, we also introduced some cases provided by projects (GreenCom, SORRISO, Mas2ering) and shown the demo prepared by APIO to control appliances with gestures - which have been all presented to the herds of visitors which have visited the house all day.
