Data Driven IoT Insights
TELSTRA: Cellular 'Internet of Things' networks collects data and matches it with open data sources to provide insights to our communities on ways we can be more efficient with our use of resources like energy. This can help the energy sector to transform from a centralised system to a distributed, smart, and integrated energy system.
Citizen Science
CSIRO: Public participation and collaboration to undertake research and discovery to have a better understanding of of what is happening across the world.

Competitors
Physical
Bellacore Lighting - Outdoor lighting fixtures that shield the light source to minimize glare and light trespass help prevent light pollution.
Lighting Illusions - Sensor & Security Lighting switches will light up porches and walkways when you need to move around after dark.
LED Eco Lighting - Cost effective lighting that reduces power, consumption, greenhouse gas emissions whilst expelling 50,000+ hours compared to the standard light bulb which only expels 3,000 hours of light.

Energy Australia - Allows users to track their usage history, and pay bills
Tesla - Application only works with Tesla powerwall products to manage grid/solar usage and transactions
User Problem
While people understand they must reduce consumption, society has developed a dependence on light. Lighting not only increases productivity by keeping the darkness away, it also is a method of improving security out in the streets and in homes.
Artificial light is prevalent. In just about every city, town and suburb, street lamps and store fronts and car lights illuminate the darkest night, however energy consumption is both expensive and negatively impacts the evironment
Proto-Personas
Family of 4-6
Energy bills in large families are often dreaded, however it is difficult to change what a family is accustomed to. The benefits and ease of access must be significant in order to create change.
Elderly couple
Did not grow up alongside technology, and may feel that such a system may be troublesome. Accessibility principles, tutorials and and additional features must be sufficient to target this demographic.

Data Story
-
NSW, VIC, and AUS data will provide benchmarks and averages directly related to geographical energy consumption
Suburb, State and National goals can be set, and actively monitered
Developer solution
'NYCTOPHILIA': A large scale nation wide experiment that can achieve dark skies and lower energy consumption through the internet of things, and voluntary citizen participation. User engagement is achieved through easy app signup and government subsidised/CSIRO funded light bulbs.
Impacts
Client
Nyctophilia must be data driven, transparently presenting the potential savings, and actual impacts of each user, and the collective effort of all users
Installation and set up of physical hardware should be as simple as screwing in the bulb and associating with mobile device
User
Simplicity, fascination and the wonder of technology must be presented in a simple, clear and inviting way to all demographics, especially families and the elderly
Competitors
Accessibility and usability will separate Nyctophilia from large corporations such as Origin and Tesla, while physical products won't be complex or expensive
