Demo of Manodo Energy application for IPTV
Manodo (www.manodo.se) has developed smart living applications using Clayster SDK which is based on .NET and XML to reach out to users device agnostic. In this video can you see Clayster Cloud running a Energy application from Manodo together with a IPTV video stream in the background of the transparent portal.

What´s this?
Very soon you’ll be seeing Clayster in your Android Market store both on GoogleTV and your other Android handsets. From that day you can start developing applications to run in the cloud over an Android-based device.
The first apps to be released have been developed by Manodo (www.manodo.se). They’ll help you take control of your connected life. Energy, Home Automation, Security, Smart Grid etc.

Real - Connected Home services by Manodo
Our Application Ecosystem Partner Manodo (www.manodo.se) will soon launch their My Home product for IPTV, Connected TVs, Mobile, MID, etc.
My Home will be available to the Swedish population as an IPTV Service!!!!
My Home is about Energy Consumption, Home Automation (Control your home), Video Phone, Local Information, Security, E-Health care etc.
Manodo will be the first to take Home Automation to the mass market!

Clients: Nothing but a GUI
Clayster Cloud applications reside and function on the server; nothing is installed on the clients. The only thing downloaded is a GUI. This is in real-time and the design provides very significant advantages:
• It means that your customer can buy as many apps as they want...thousands if they like... it won’t slow down the phone or any other display device. This is in contrast to embedded applications that severely restrict performance after a very low number of applications are installed, rather sharply limiting application sales
.
• Upgrading a service package with new features entails updating one service file on the server in contrast to applications installed on (for example) an IPhone where every upgrade requires an explicit user action and both the application and the binary code must be re-installed on every client using them. With Clayster, any device using the new application gets the new features automatically the next time they call it (note that visibility of any feature is configurable per client).• Interoperability testing is no longer necessary for each type of client, eliminating one of the largest cost items in service development and roll-out (with STB-services for example, interoperability assurances are second only to the hardware itself as a development cost). Because nothing beyond a GUI is downloaded to a phone or STB or any display device, it is an unnecessary expense.
• Since the Clayster Apps is already tested, and applications run on the server, the client environment is secure even though new services are added (even more secure than web applications which allow for javascript in web pages – scripts that can crash the box!). Applications cannot send anything client-specific to the client. All client capabilities and hardware resources are abstracted and communication (if at all) is done only via the abstraction layers.
• Client displays: the platform supports HTML, SVG (standard browsers), a meta data client (XML based) and also a specially developed Clayster Client, an extremely thin client (C/C++) for low power devices.

Clayster SDK
XML = Clayster App
C#.NET + XML = Clayster App
= Device agnostic applications!
Clayster SDK
Easy service development is a key requirement in the Clayster design specification because Clayster is intended to enable competitive advantages in the new application store market where a rich portfolio of services depends on how easily and reliably they can be produced. Also, a provider’s ability to respond with agility to market cues depends on how quickly they can get to market with customer-specific ideas.
You can create most services on Clayster in a matter of hours. Clayster SDK provides an open API with extensive libraries, a host of dedicated tools, and an online knowledge base with tutorials that tell you how to do it.
Options for both advanced and beginner developers are provided ranging from standard API development libraries to the GUI-driven Clayster Applications Studio, a tool enabling less technically-minded personnel to build XML- based services that are ready to place in the application store.
Ultra-granular libraries eliminate the most common programming tasks. Database programming is unnecessary since the platform uses a searchable, flexible object database. Extensive web technologies, advanced scripting, centralized event logging etc. are all supported.
Clayster .Net-based applications
Clayster SDK provides an open API with highly-granular libraries and a host of dedicated tools for common service- building tasks. All dll-based applications are developed in .Net. They are created as Class Libraries in Visual Studio by creating a new project in your solution of the type Class Library.
XML-based services
XML Services are completely defined in one or more XML files, with optional XSL transformations. They can also include online XML-content. They are more limited than .NET- based services but much easier to implement. XML- based services do not require knowledge of Clayster APIs except to know that service files developed in XML are handled by the XML Services Engine, a core Clayster component and that dll-based applications can be embedded in these service files using XML elements developed to invoke Clayster Backbone services.
This enables XML service developers to easily expand the scope of a service package by simply “dropping in” pre- integrated applications such as messaging, select-from- contact-lists, case-management, virtual keyboards etc.
Clayster Application Studio
This is an application for creating simpler XML-based services via a drag and drop type GUI. It requires very little technical knowledge and produces a complete service package ready to place in a Clayster App Store.
