WigWag has developed a home automation kit (http://linuxgizmos.com/wig-wag-home-automation-kit/) that combines a Linux-based 6LoWPAN (http://www.6lowpan.org/) router with sensor units running the open-source Contiki IoT (http://www.contiki-os.org/) (Internet of Things) OS. Users can add ZigBee, Bluetooth, and other modules to expand the home network, and the WigWam development kit provides shield development boards for use with Arduino and Raspberry Pi SBCs. Users control the devices with a smartphone app (initially Android-based) and associated WigWag cloud service, which lets the devices remotely respond to sensor-based events such as motion detection, rain, noise, etc. Developers can create rules-based scripts for controlling devices using WigWag's open-source Javascript-based DeviceJS (http://devicejs.org/) development environment. WigWag used a Kickstarter page (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wigwag/wigwag-scan-it-control-it-rule-it-share-it) to fund production and has already tripled its goal
