+# Quick Start Things
+
+This set of Things can be used to build mashup applications for a smart home scenario.
+These Things are:
+
+-   Simple coffee machine that can take an order to brew a coffee.
+-   Presence sensor that emits an event when a person is detected.
+-   Smart clock that runs 60 times faster than real time, where 1 hour happens in 1 minute.
+
+These Things are hosted on plugfest.thingweb.io but can be also self-hosted.
