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.

Introduce cloud technology


Cloud technology means moving your local computing and data to other servers over an Internet network. Investing huge infrastructure is very expensive unless you know your risk.

In general, cloud technology provides dynamic infrastructure, so your system does not need to stop if you want to upgrade your infrastructure. There are three terms in cloud technology: SaaS, PaaS and IaaS.

SaaS, or Software as a Service, is the most familiar form of cloud service for consumers. SaaS moves the task of managing software and its deployment to third-party services. Examples of SaaS include DropBox, Google Apps, and other storage solutions.

PaaS, or Platform as a Service, provides a platform on which software can be developed and deployed. Customers focus their business. They can select which platform fits on their business without thinking about network infrastructure and servers. Examples of PaaS include Heroku, Google App Engine, and Red Hat's OpenShift.

IaaS, or Infrastructure...
