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.

Analyzing sensor data with Intel IoT Analytics


Intel IoT Analytics allows us to generate charts with the data generated for each component that has observations for a specific device. First, we have to select the device and then we have to choose one or more component to generate the chart with historic time series or the time series that are being generated with the code running on the board, that is, live data for the component.

Go to the web browser in which you are working with the Intel IoT Analytics dashboard, click on the menu icon and select Charts. The site will display the My Charts page that will allow you to search for devices using many search criteria, such as the device name, the associated tags, and its properties.

In this case, we just have one activated device, and therefore, we can select the device from the list of devices that the site shows us below the Select Device section. This section displays the first characters for the device name at the right-hand side of a checkbox...
