The phrase "smoke and mirrors" came to mind as I looked at this site, but the information on their WigWag Kickstarter site was actually encouraging. Having lived through successive generations of automation/integration efforts in a sensor-rich environment, I think these guys are on the right track. Only time will tell if it's a track to the future or to the tech scrapheap we oldies like to reminisce about. The most encouraging aspect of this work is its basis in ubiquitous JavaScript. <reminisce>Some fifteen years ago, while pitching a proposal to management, I prepared a PowerPoint figure of my vision of a building-information "InfoBahn". If I were to change a few words it could easily be mistaken for a high-level view of what they are doing. My vision was fatally flawed by its dependence on emerging software technologies that have taken more than a decade to mature and morphed along the way.</reminisce> By comparison, JavaScript delivers most of what I needed "out of the box." I wish them well (someday they may hire my nephew who lives in Austin!) and thanks for the pointer.
