Mastering Internet of Things

By: Peter Waher

Overview of this book

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the fastest growing technology market. Industries are embracing IoT technologies to improve operational expenses, product life, and people's well-being. Mastering Internet of Things starts by presenting IoT fundamentals and the smart city. You will learn the important technologies and protocols that are used for the Internet of Things, their features, corresponding security implications, and practical examples on how to use them. This book focuses on creating applications and services for the Internet of Things. Further, you will learn to create applications and services for the Internet of Things. You will be discover various interesting projects and understand how to publish sensor data, control devices, and react to asynchronous events using the XMPP protocol. The book also introduces chat, to interact with your devices. You will learn how to automate your tasks by using Internet of Things Service Platforms as the base for an application. You will understand the subject of privacy, requirements they should be familiar with, and how to avoid violating any of the important new regulations being introduced. At the end of the book, you will have mastered creating open, interoperable and secure networks of things, protecting the privacy and integrity of your users and their information.

Configuring the IoT Gateway


All application data files are separated from the executable files. Application data files are files that can be potentially changed by the user. Executable files are files potentially changed by installers. For the Console and Service applications, application data files are stored in the IoT Gateway subfolder to the operating system's Program Data folder. Example: C:ProgramDataIoT Gateway. For the UWP app, a link to the program data folder is provided at the top of the window. The application data folder contains files you might have to configure to get it to work as you want.

Configuring the XMPP interface

All IoT Gateways connect to the XMPP network. This connection is used to provide a secure and interoperable interface to your gateway and its underlying devices. You can also administer the gateway through this XMPP connection.

The XMPP connection is defined in different manners, depending on the encapsulation. The app lets the user configure the connection...
