Webinar: Smart Home with Raspberry Pi and EnOcean

Practical introduction on connected home applications based on energy harvesting wireless technology

Munich, Germany, June 27, 2014

How to develop applications for the connected home using the Raspberry Pi mini-PC and batteryless wireless sensors? The webinar “Enable Your Smart Home with Raspberry Pi & EnOcean” of online community element14 and EnOcean gives the answer on July 10, 4:00 PM (MESZ).

Attendees will get a basic introduction on the functionalities of energy harvesting wireless technology, the Raspberry Pi and the Raspian software. In addition, they learn how to configure the FHEM home automation server for several smart home applications. Highlight is a live showcase that will demonstrate the EnOcean Sensor Kit in action. Markus Kreitmair, Innovation Manager at EnOcean, will present the 60-minute webinar. As of now, those who are interested can apply at www.element14.com/community/events/4098.
