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 ?
