Emerging Platform: The Electrical Grid

#13 X10

Already popular among house hold appliances, the electrical grid app X10 has been widely used for synchronization across the house hold appliances. The app uses languages like Java and other popular codes for syncing with the house hold electrical devices. Also some controllers are available across the market, like Insteon which comes up with built-in data and web servers that allows user to communicate with devices by posting data to the URLs.

#14 ZigBee:

One of the most common APIs in the electrical grid platform, the ZigBee is often considered as better and more accurate app in the energy saving department. The ZigBee offers better decisions about the energy use across the house hold appliances. Developers had added some very intellectual capabilities like alarms on power consumption, stats that analyze the energy, efficiency, safety and security. It can also rate the efficiency and power usage of house hold devices along with re-scheduling appliances during peak hours.

Emerging Platform: Retail

#15 In-Store Geolocation:

The retail is another hot and upcoming platform that developers need to target. In retail there are apps that can redirect customers to make them buy stuffs. A real time example is the LEDs that you used find in packing orders. The LEDs are so intellectual that they can scan the serial number so that they can grab what kind of product is it, its specifications and in what department it comes under.
