The BluePost is an enhanced car heating post, an electrical distribution box used for heating car engines during cold weather. We saw a need for enhancement of current models, since the design has been relatively unchanged for decades and the user interface is somewhat restricted to simple mechanical on/off control. The BluePost provides additional functionality and a more intuitive user interface, and its energy saving features helps us to save electricity. The BluePost features wireless control and a distributed architecture, utilising both embedded systems and wireless networks.
