Since a SmartMesh IP\u00a0&#8220;just works&#8221; out of the box, we can focus on our application.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are using the devices from <a href=\"http:\/\/metronomesystems.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Metronome Systems<\/a>, which build around SmartMesh IP. This includes<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the <strong>NeoMote<\/strong>, which features a PSOC Programmable System of Chip to interface to sensors and actuators, and SmartMesh IP mote for the networking part. The NeoMote allows us to integrate virtually any sensor into the design while not\u00a0having to worry about the network.<\/li>\n<li>the <strong>Metronome Systems Network Manager<\/strong>, which features a Linux computer and a SmartMesh IP Manager, packaged in a ruggadized elements-proof box.
