Why would you want to connect a wall switch to the web in the first place? The Internet of Things doesn't necessarily have to mean the WWW of things.
For instance, you can always expose low-power devices through a low-overhead, low-power & short-range communication protocol to a <that-protocol-enabled> router. It also makes sense to have all of those devices configured from there (indeed, via a web interface exposed on the gateway) rather than having a web server on each of them.
- NathanKP 13y agoFor what it is worth this is one of the upcoming stretch goals: nRF24 – low power wireless communication with mesh capabilities (good for tying lots of Tessels together without WiFi) So one Tessel can be the web server to connect a cluster of Tessels communicating via nRF24 to the web. Or you could use one Tessel as the router to connect a bunch of nRF24 Arduino devices to the web.
