Universal Powerline
Zigbee
Z-wave
Bluetooth
Wi-Fi
BLE
INFRARED One-way communication Suitable for line of sight
PROPRIETARY WIRELESS
Still used for many home alarm systems including wireless doorbells etc
Z-wave • owned by one company (Sigma Designs)…a standard, but. • Over 300 companies making products • ADT Pulse, Alarm.com, Wink • Hubs are required for interconnectivity
PROPRIETARY WIRED
X10
Universal Powerline
HPNA (phoneline…mostly dead now)
ZIGBEE
Over 1000 products, over 300 home automation products Pros: • Low power consumption • Low processing requirements • Mesh architecture for better wireless stability Cons: • Requires a hub to get join the IOT • More expensive than WiFi • Some proprietary versions of ZigBee
BLUETOOTH/BLE Over 30K members of Bluetooth Alliance (free to join) Over 10K qualified end products Billions of devices deployed Pros: • Low power consumption • Low Processing requirements • Very low cost (mostly free with WiFi, or under $1 stand alone) Cons: • Requires a hub to join the IOT • Mesh protocol in development – projected 2017 release
WIFI Over 700 members ($5K-$15K to join) Over 30K products Over 12B units shipped Pros: • Most ubiquitous RF interface for consumer devices • Billions of devices shipped have driven solution price very low – under $2 in some cases • No hub needed, direct cloud connection to devices possible (through home router) Cons: • High power • No mesh yet • Proliferation of WiFi IoT hardware might require consumers to update their WiFi

Ubiquitous Familiar Trusted
• Dominate BB equip provider
for DSL /telcos for years
• RGW vs. Dumb modem
• Home networking pioneer
• Invented TR-069
#1 Overall Best of CES Innovations, 2009
THE ALL-IN-ONE CABLE MODEM
• Converts Cable to Ethernet • NAT • Routes IP commands • Wi-Fi access point
• Usually all on one processor • Fine for a few devices, but not for IoT
IS YOUR WIFI NETWORK READY FOR THE IOT?
“my router can handle 256 IP addresses”
But have you tried hooking up 4 smartphones, 3 tablets, 4 computers, two thermostats, three IP cameras, three smart
TVs, 2 door locks and 15 light switches anytime recently…?
Lightpad
THE LIGHT SWITCH REIMAGINED
SIMPLE
Simple Installation The Plum lightpad installs into your wall just like any other dimmer. Just disconnect your old switch or dimmer and wire in the Plum lightpad.
WiFi Connected Once installed, the Plum lightpad easily connects to your WiFi system. No Hubs, No complexity.
Easy Configuration Setting up new devices is as easy as sending or receiving a text message. The app automatically discovers and sets up new devices. Just name the room and the device.
INTELLIGENT
Multi-touch Gestures Multi Touch allows you to control just one light, a group of lights, or the entire house from any Lightpad. Plum has filed patents relating to advanced gesturing including “learning custom gestures”
Motion glow The Lightpad features an occupancy detector and will gently illuminate as you approach it in the dark. or use it as a nightlight. You can set the glow to the color of your choice.
Control anything With advanced gestures, you can create a scene of light for a party and start a playlist on your Sonos music system. Plum has filed patents relating to the control of 3rd party devices like Sonos and Nest.
Scheduling The Plum app allows you to create schedules for your lighting for regular activities. Plum can also learn your behaviors and suggest schedules, or randomly turn lights on while you are on vacation.
CONVENIENCE
Notifications Plum can provide notifications based on events. So if a family member sends you an important text, all of your Lightpads flash green. Severe weather alerts can trigger a red flashing glow.
Energy Reporting Plum provides real time energy reporting and can send you a message if you have a lightbulb out or that your kitchen lights are costing you 10% more this month over last.
SMART HOME IOT FIRST
Distributed system
Fault tolerant
Cumulative processing
Contextually aware

Plums’ Novel In-Home Distributed Computing Cluster
The Lightpad’s software can be updated remotely with no interruption of the device or light

• Fog Computing is about computing on the edge
• In Fog Computing, devices communicate peer-to-peer so as to efficiently share/store data and make local decisions
• Fog and Cloud computing are not exclusive of each other, indeed they are synergistic
• IoT systems, especially as they scale, will require Fog Computing
