The Raspberry Pi-Powered Future House
Geremy Cohen, PubNub's Director of Client-Side Engineering, walks us through a proof-of-concept model of the PubNub-connected smart home, powered by a Raspberry Pi Model B+.

We can also request the current state of the house, including voltage and intensity levels.
