Mastering IOT

By: Colin Dow, Perry Lea

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. We’ll begin our journey with an introduction to Raspberry Pi and quickly jump right into Python programming. We’ll learn all concepts through multiple projects, and then reinforce our learnings by creating an IoT robot car. We’ll examine modern sensor systems and focus on what their power and functionality can bring to our system. We’ll also gain insight into cloud and fog architectures, including the OpenFog standards. The Learning Path will conclude by discussing three forms of prevalent attacks and ways to improve the security of our IoT infrastructure. By the end of this Learning Path, we will have traversed the entire spectrum of technologies needed to build a successful IoT system, and will have the confidence to build, secure, and monitor our IoT infrastructure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: Internet of Things Programming Projects by Colin Dow Internet of Things for Architects by Perry Lea

Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to add text messaging to our doorbell application. This creates a doorbell fit for the age of the Internet of Things. It's easy to see how the concept of the IoT Bluetooth doorbell could be expanded—imagine turning on the porch lights when someone pushes the doorbell.

We can also see how the Blue Dot app could be utilized in other ways as well. We could program a certain swiping sequence with our Blue Dot app, perhaps to unlock the door. Imagine not having to carry around keys!

This is the last chapter before we introduce our robot car. In the following chapters, we will take the concepts we have learned so far and apply them to a robot that we control through the internet.
