General system improved and IoT products and prices

So today I worked more on marketing analysis and figure out what I'm actually suppose to be doing.

At the fika in the morning I mentioned my thoughts on the project and my general system got improved. Let's say the r-pi (or brain unity) is a burglar alarm and the unit is in the house in order to get the sensor-singnals from different sensors. If the electricity is cut, the brain-unit is shut down and can't send any updates. It is possible to have an external system that warns and sends messages if a brain-unit is unconnected. In such a case the external 'online intelligence' system needs to be programmed differently for different systems as well as the r-pi. It feels more modular if the brain-unit is less smart and just uploads info to a database. This way there is no question what system needs to be changed if an email should be sent, it's the 'online intelligecne'. All of the intelligence gathered on one secure place makes it easier to check for bugs as well.

If the database isn't updated, then the 'brain-unit' or 'relay-unit' it should be called now, needs to be checked.

The intelligence in turn handles who should be send what kind of info:
-Has the database registered an intruder? Send email to owner.
-Has the 'relay-system' gone offline? Send email to owner.

Disadvatages of this? I dunno.

So with this I have worked on a productmix that Kivo can offer.

Products:

• Relay-unit
• Sensors
• Server database
• Server intelligence
• Server HCI (to monitor and program the intelligence)

Services:

• Connecting an existing system to IoT via relay unit
• Design and offer a new system connected to IoT via relay unit
• Design a database
• General installation-help

This way, any hobby-hacker should have an easy time to set up their own kind of system by using our sensors, relay and software. Also it should be easy to use the system for bigger companies combined with our services.

I'm thinking that there will be a lot of focus on marketing and explaining ideas and problems that can be solved. Also the interface that the user will interact with needs a lot of work. The biggest questionmark is what the intelligence should be doing with all the data. That will be solved by beginning to "think IoT", which I probably will start doing uncontrollably.

My first project as mentioned before, will be the alarmsystem, making a database and some kind of 'online intelligence'. After that I will focus on a simple interface to watch over data.

I also checked the prices fot other IoT things to see what we should charge. What about a smart oven that cooks everything you put in it automatically? Or a smart lightbulb-security system?
