IBM Sets ‘Smart Home’ Links To STMicroelectronics, Shaspa Research

An electronic “home gateway” using STMicro’s STiH416 chip and embedded software from Shaspa serve as a bridge to cloud and home services coming from IBM’s SmartCloud service delivery platform. The infrastructure is managed from a Shaspa graphical-user interface, or GUI, as well as IBM’s Worklight software permits consumers to manage home appliances from mobile phones.

The network is connected to the IBM cloud, which continuously monitors the home as sensors detect operation of electronic appliances, temperature and other conditions.

The companies cited a survey by Parks Associates predicting as many as 8 billion devices will be connected to home networks by the end of 2015.

Other technology companies are showing rival systems at the CES, which attracts more than 150,000 professionals involved with technology, products and applications.

From the press release, "IBM Sets ‘Smart Home’ Links To STMicroelectronics, Shaspa Research."
