Today’s a big day: Dasher360.com has been updated to let you browse the model and data coming from Empa’s amazing NEST building near Zurich, Switzerland. Head on over and give it a try!

We’ve also enabled support for realtime data sent to the browser via WebSockets. This isn’t something you can use unless physically present on the local network, but the mechanism is in place and works well.
There are a bunch of other changes…
