Motorola Home Gateway puts your entire home in the cloud, almost - CNET
Summary
Motorola demoed today at CES 2012 its Home Gateway, a device about the size of a compact router, designed to bridge all appliances of your home, from IP cameras to TVs to light bulbs, and allow you to monitor and manage them over the Internet with a mobile app. During the demo, Motorola showed how a person could control different devices, like switching desk lights on and off or dimming them, or viewing surveillance camera footage, all in a single mobile app. Most of the devices can be paired with the Home Gateway via a single button push. Devices that dont support any connectivity standard, such as an old refrigerator, can be added to the network via a Z-Wave adapter and then the user can monitor their energy usage and even turn them on or off. The device comes with applications for different platforms and allows consumers to access their homes remotely, from a smartphone, tablet, or PC.
