Hi everybody,
I'm new to tinyos and to the MOTES. My goal is to develop some kind of home automation with MOTES.
By looking for the price of a single Xbow kit (802.15.4 for example) : I found this awfully expensive ! Berkeley claims that the latest generation mote - aka Spec - costs less that $1 in quantities. Fine, really fine. BUT, currently, a single MICAz module costs nearly $200 and a DOT sensor more that $100 !
Moreover the Stargate gateway (a simple PC board that costs between $100 and $200 and less that $100 if you choose the VIA processor family) is "offered" at nearly $3000 that is to say about 20x its price.
Surely, it unuseful for me to try to market a product build with such MOTES : I will be well beyond the target market price for the kind of product I want to develop (a few dozens of dollars).
Does anyone have any suggestion ?
