Internet of Everything Worth $14,000,000,000,000.00

Grant's Perspective on ... a Cisco white paper valuing the "Internet of Everything" at 14 trillion dollars.

I do a lot of AV system programming and internet connectivity has saved me many hours of travel and my employer the cost of the time and travel, which in turn saves our clients money. Most times I can work at my office and connect to the AV system in our client's location to update their system programming.

Cisco has published a white paper saying that the Internet of Everything has over 14 trillion dollars at stake in connecting people-to-people, people-to-things and things-to-things together. I thought it was great to be home at 5:30 to have dinner with my family but Cisco sure puts a huge value to the future "Internet of Everything".

My iPhone Talks To My Building And My Building Talks Back

Grant's Perspective on ... the AMX TPC-Apple application that lets me talk to my building and my building talks back to me.

I posted a blog a while ago on the Internet of Everything and wanted to post an example from AMX (audiovisual system control hardware and software). The AMX authorized touch panel application for mobile devices (for remote access to system in addition to wired controller) is TPC-Apple. TPC-Apple enables users to control their AV systems from their iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone to control office HVAC system, lighting, cameras, projectors and videoconference systems.

One of the TPC-Apple application features is that you can use your voice to send commands to the system. The text below was lifted from the AMX website and is a great example of the Internet of Everything as you can talk to your building (instead of another person) and the building can act on your commands and tell you that they have been executed.

VoiceControl - Using Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech functionality within TPControl allows you to talk to your control system and have it talk to you. For example, you say "Turn the entry lights on" and TPControl initiates the command and replies "The entry lights are on" when completed

BTW - We (Inland AV) are an AMX dealer and are available to talk to you about your AV system design and integration.
