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.

Working with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub


Azure IoT Hub offers reliable device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device hyper-scale messaging, enables secure communications using per-device security credentials and access control, and includes device libraries for the most popular languages and platforms.

Various IoT boards can be connected to Azure IoT Hub. You can check if your board can connect or not by visiting https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/develop/iot/get-started/.

In this section, we will try to access Microsoft Azure IoT Hub from our Raspberry Pi or desktop. You can use any board if you want to test. Let's start!

Setting up Microsoft Azure IoT Hub

To set up Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, you should have an active subscription on Microsoft Azure. Microsoft also provides a trial account.

Open a browser and navigate to https://portal.azure.com/ to open Microsoft Azure. In the left-hand menu, find IoT Hub so you can see the IoT Hub dashboard, which is shown in the following screenshot:
