Smart power grids – Microsoft hohm

After google PowerMeter a couple of months ago, it’s not Microsoft’s turn to unveil his home automation / monitoring middleware. Called “hohm”, it all focuses around energy-savings. As US is all about the Smart Power Grigs buzz, this is yet another ecosystem with its own SDK to support. Good thing is that this now means you’ll see in the next future plenty of cheap connected devices making their way in your home and giving you those beautiful dashboards we geeks love.
