digitalSTROM Widgets
The digitalSTROM® standard will lead to the next revolution in electrical installation. digitalSTROM is a simple method of connecting electrical appliances. Electricity consumption becomes visible and measurable. Simultaneously increasing security and comfort. In addition, it provides a simple interface to the internet and to a smartphone and makes dealing with energy more transparent. The first components will be available in Germany and in Switzerland in 2011.
An ant-size chip makes all this possible: Mounted directly into the devices or in an adapter plug, it lets the devices communicate with one another. The system works over the existing 230 V mains. Installation only takes a few easy steps. digitalSTROM devices mediate between power generation and power consumption. Our partner futureLAB is actively involved in the digitalSTORM® software development. Cando created prototypes for widgets, mainly to control devices and to display consumption statistics (metering). The widgets where implemented on Mac OS using the Dashboard for Mac and will be running on futureLAB’s own widget container called “Kastellan” in the future.
