O2M8 Demonstrates WebBrick at CEDIA 2005 (26/5/2005)

CEDIA UK Expo 2005

O2M8 Ltd is a UK company developing unique home automation products and complete solutions targeted for home extensions, retrofit projects or new house builds. O2M8's goal is to allow system installers to offer compelling home automation solutions at competitive prices for mid-range houses in the UK. O2M8 Ltd will be showing how their recently launched WebBrick product can be used to control heating, cooling, humidity, glance-technology lighting, event-enabled cameras, door access control and 'voice-over-IP' technology all used to solve common problems at home with cool innovative solutions.

WebBrick is the first process control unit with multi-input and output capability along with a web-server and network interface for providing deterministic system control and monitoring. The WebBrick WB10B151 product is available immediately in PCB form or as a development system delivered in a robust 'IP56' enclosure.

In a typical home O2M8 recommends a distributed network of WebBricks providing robust, local control wherever it is needed. A home gateway/server connected to the local network and communicating to a family of WebBricks can provide the global intelligence needed for a comprehensive and effective automation control system.

O2M8 works with OEMs, distributors, integrators and installers to provide costeffective standards-based home automation products and open systems that can be supported by a range of companies after the original installation is complete. With O2M8 leading the acceptance of standards-based technology and opensource software installations will ultimately mean the end customer will make their own choice which company provides the ongoing maintenance and upgrading of their smart home systems.

O2M8's WebBrick and 'Glanceable' Lighting products integrated with VOIP telephony are good examples of standards-based, open-source solutions.
