HONG KONG, LONDON and MIAMI, Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- myrimis/ nanonavi,
the most comprehensive-location-based-social network offered today on personal
computers and mobile phones supports with immediate availability the ZigBee
global-standard for Home-Automation (HA).
    The myrimis platform allows the user to set up their own "real-life"
location-based social network including family members, friends, pets and
assets like cars, boats and home, and create innovative services like virtual-
caring for persons, pets, cars and home.
    HA provides standard interfaces for the control of lightning, HVAC, power
outlets, motorization, security, audio/video and other devices.
    By automating and centralizing control of all these individual systems
from virtually everywhere, HA increases comfort and security, and most
importantly, becomes more efficient at reducing our need of energy.
    "The growing global focus on improving energy efficiency can play a key
role in introducing consumers to the value of home automation solutions," said
CEO August Bodo Schnabel. "ZigBee is ideal because it is a standards-based
technology with worldwide approval."
