Internet of Things with Python

Overview of this book

Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the way devices/things interact with each other. And when you have IoT with Python on your side, you'll be able to build interactive objects and design them. This book lets you stay at the forefront of cutting-edge research on IoT. We'll open up the possibilities using tools that enable you to interact with the world, such as Intel Galileo Gen 2, sensors, and other hardware. You will learn how to read, write, and convert digital values to generate analog output by programming Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Python. You will get familiar with the complex communication system included in the board, so you can interact with any shield, actuator, or sensor. Later on, you will not only see how to work with data received from the sensors, but also perform actions by sending them to a specific shield. You'll be able to connect your IoT device to the entire world, by integrating WiFi, Bluetooth, and Internet settings. With everything ready, you will see how to work in real time on your IoT device using the MQTT protocol in python. By the end of the book, you will be able to develop IoT prototypes with Python, libraries, and tools.

Triggering alerts with rules in Intel IoT Analytics


Intel IoT Analytics allows us to define the rules that can trigger any of the following notification types:

  • Email

  • HTTP Endpoint

  • Actuation

Go to the web browser in which you are working with the Intel IoT Analytics dashboard, click on the menu icon and select Rules. The site will display the My Rules page that will allow you to define rules for the activated devices. In this case, we will define a rule that will send us an e-mail when the humidity level is lower than 10%.

Click on Add a rule and the site will display us a form that will allow us to enter the details for the new rule. Enter Very low humidity level in Rule Name, select Low in Priority and Email in Notifications type. Select the e-mail address to which you want to receive the notifications in the dropdown in the Notifications To panel.

Click Next and the site will ask us to select the devices to which the new rule has to be applied. In this case, we just have one activated device...
