Every technophile dreams of having the ultimate connected home.
Perhaps, you’ve even made steps to attain that goal. It can start with

Enter WigWag.
WigWag is an ongoing Kickstarter project, the ultimate goal of which is to equip you to “build intelligent environments anywhere with Internet-connected sensors and devices by letting you graphically write rules, “When” [this] happens “Then” do [that]. No complicated programming languages or computers necessary, rules are easily built on smartphones and tablets. The more WigWag and third party devices in your account, the more you can do! ”
