From what I understand, it connects to your Wifi and send the paramater of each Imp Sim card to the server using the coding that you want to. So to answer your question Nameless Netizen, you would not rely on the company directly to access your internet… That is my understanding of it.

Could they please elaborate on what they mean by having the device show up on Electric Imp’s servers? This whole private company server thing has me a little suspicious of the whole thing. I don’t like the idea of relying on this one company’s servers for my internet, or is that like a normal ISP thing?

If they put the image of this Imp onto the Apple logo then that would be fitting & would scare Samsung, HTC & other mobile OEMs into submission. No need to fight lengthy pattern wars in courts :D

This is pretty cool, although I could see it getting expensive when you throw in the cost of something like the wall outlet along with the price of the devices. Either way, great to see these types of advancements in home automation!

Now that’s pretty cool.
