Control all your gadgets through SMS
Feeling hot when coming back from work and wished that your air-conditioner was on before you entered home? Or you had forgotten to switch off fans and lights while leaving home and desperately want to turn them off given that tariffs are rising.
Don't worry. Soon you will be able to control all your home gadgets through mobile text messages, significantly reducing device clutter.
Three 22-year-old students from MCKV Institute of Engineering (situated near Kolkata) are working on a solution that if not novel, is pretty simple. Recent airconditioners are coming with in-built SMS switch on/off features but then one can just control the airconditioner and no other equipment, apart from the fact that you need to replace your AC. Digital smart home gateways devised by tech majors -- including one launched by Infosys earlier in 2011 -- which allows linking of mutiple home devices are much more complex and costly hardware boxes.
