FirstBuild (New York, NY) a new global co-creation community, has debuted its first product, Green Bean. The open-source maker module enables users to hack into and create their own appliance controls for select GE appliances through a software development kit.
The SDK, available on github, is a javascript-based toolkit that uses the Node.js platform and operates on Mac, PC and Linux, so you can create apps to run from nearly any computing device – mobile phones, laptops, even mini computers and MicroControllers like the Raspberry Pi.
