Re: plugwise design, but through wifi

hi guys, here some answers that are already known.
@MarnixT
i is NOT possible to access each plug through a webpage. It is possible to control each plug through the app. We are also strarting with a windows app for guys like us, so that we can integrate it in something like homeseer.
"I'm wondering how the initial 50 will not be used for manufacturing"
I think that you mean is what if the 50000 AUS dollar wil not be reached? Then you wil not be charged with money. This project wil ONLY be funded if the 50000 AUS dollar has been reached.
Shipping costs are an estimate. This means that we are not shure what it will be. The procedures is as follow. I will be the Dutch/German office of these products. It will be shippd all together in a container or something like that. then it wil be shipped at local costs. The shippping as is (the 10 aus dollar) is an estimate and will not be used per single product.

This design IS/will be small enough to use 2 of these beside eachother. I will recieve the new design chip later this week. The plugdesign has been 'borrowd' from another plug that already excist.
About the API i cannot tell much about that yet, but what i CAN tell is that with the api you will be able to implement own plugins. An example wil be connecting the roowifi or own wifi roomba adapter. Making own door/window sensors with wifichip to connect to the app. and we are even looking at the option to integrate ipcamera option etc.
@Kriz83
about the ledring we are stil not shure and discussing about this...My first intention was to use the ring as indicator for powerusage, but others also find it nice to set it manually. So we are now thinking and looking for the option to use the ring for both and be able to set this option in the app.
About the API, see the point above.
The issue about the cloud is actually easay. This is used for 2 reasons.
1. to make the plugs accessable all over the world without having to change things in the router or something like that.
2. to get a wider range of data storage capacity for the energy measuring. Otherwise there is only the memory of the atmega and will be enough for about 6 months then it is full.
We are looking at an option for advanced people to use it on/with own local server, but that is not determend yet.
and thanks for the compliments....
If there ar more questions, pplease ask, because this way we know what people want and can try to implement it.

.....no cloud, or possiblity to switch off
No cloud just counted me in!
