Lightning-enabled IOT. Hardware that is flexible, modular and that works out the box.
Either DIY kits or preloaded with software. Lightbulbs, switches, relays, cameras, speakers, power monitors, batteries, scales, routers… all customisable that could make a lightning payment when used, turned on or state changes.
Use cases:
- landlords wanting to charge for energy usage rather than end of month/quarter
- pay for your Wifi (friends, family neighbours)
- weight challenges - if get fat & weigh more than 100kg charge yourself a penalty fee
- teaching kids about hardware via Lightning
- automated inventories - ordering local produce when fridge running low
- recycling plastics, glass & cardboard powered by LN that weighs and pays
- trainers with a pedometer that unlock your own sats
In general would love to see more of this fun stuff, to pick-up and run with (pun intended). Building on what MakerBits is doing. It’s the type of stuff that inspires the next generation.
Excellent! Thank you!
