Smart module and motherboard
What makes a smart appliance smart? On the right is a module that GE has developed that allows communications with a home's smart meters. The networking can be done in a variety of formats, such as the wireless Zigbee standard.
When GE releases its demand-response appliances next year, the module will be fitted onto the appliance's motherboard.
