Smart Internet of Things Projects

By: Agus Kurniawan

Overview of this book

Internet of Things (IoT) is a groundbreaking technology that involves connecting numerous physical devices to the Internet and controlling them. Creating basic IoT projects is common, but imagine building smart IoT projects that can extract data from physical devices, thereby making decisions by themselves. Our book overcomes the challenge of analyzing data from physical devices and accomplishes all that your imagination can dream up by teaching you how to build smart IoT projects. Basic statistics and various applied algorithms in data science and machine learning are introduced to accelerate your knowledge of how to integrate a decision system into a physical device. This book contains IoT projects such as building a smart temperature controller, creating your own vision machine project, building an autonomous mobile robot car, controlling IoT projects through voice commands, building IoT applications utilizing cloud technology and data science, and many more. We will also leverage a small yet powerful IoT chip, Raspberry Pi with Arduino, in order to integrate a smart decision-making system in the IoT projects.

Connecting IoT boards to cloud-based server


Connecting to a cloud-based server means your IoT boards have networking capabilities, which are used to connect to a remote server. You can use either an Ethernet module or a wireless module on IoT boards.

There are many platforms for cloud-based servers you can integrate with IoT boards. In this section, we will explore some cloud-based server platforms.

Let's explore!

Microsoft Azure IoT

Microsoft started its cloud service with Microsoft Azure, which provides many options for solving your IT problems. Microsoft provides the Azure portal to manage your cloud services. The Azure portal is shown in the following screenshot:

For further information about Microsoft Azure, I recommend you visit https://azure.microsoft.com/. I don't explain all Microsoft Azure services in this book. I will explain Azure IoT in the following section.

Amazon AWS IoT

Amazon already provides cloud technology, called Amazon AWS. Now Amazon AWS also provides an IoT solution. Your...
