SmartAnthill: An open IoT system ================================ **SmartAnthill** is an open IoT system which allows easy control over multiple microcontroller-powered devices, creating a home- or office-wide heterogeneous network out of these devices. SmartAnthill system can be pretty much anything: from a system to control railway network model to an office-wide heating control and security system. As an open system, SmartAnthill can integrate together a wide range of devices beginning from embedded development boards and ending with off-the-shelf sensors and actuators. They can be connected via very different communication means - from wired (currently Serial and CAN bus, with Ethernet planned soon) to wireless (currently IEEE 802.15.4, with low-cost RF, ZigBee and WiFi planned soon). All SmartAnthill devices within a system are controlled from the one place (such as PC or credit-card sized computer Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard or CubieBoard), with an optional access via Internet.
