[Closed] Internet of things?

Yes 🙂

I've got things in my internet. Does that count? 🙂

You planning to bring down google with a baby monitor bot attack ?

It's some things connected to the internet.

Currently working on a little project but I keep getting sidetracked as every time I google something I find a dozen different solutions and links to a dozen more interesting projects. Lots going on.

Big things or smaller things?

I've got things in my internet.

ooft, it will take years to recover.

You need to ask an expert....

I work in the extraction, transformation and loading of data, usually for the purposes of visualisation and analysis. What is that you are trying to do?

Internet of tat more like

What is that you are trying to do?

Trying to figure out why he can't get his connected kettle to sync with the fridge.

Sort of, IoT is a big subject, what specifically do you need to know.

Software engineer specialising in embedded, real-time and safety-critical.
Done some IoT professionally and at home for "fun". So also "sort of".

What's your issue caller?

er, yes, though I try not to let my kettle talk about it.

Sorry just re-read the OP and realised you are specifically looking for cats that are into IoT.

HTH

IoT means different things to different people, just like AI and/or machine learning. What, specifically, do you need to know?

Oh, I missed that - I did help to make an IoT dragon if he's not too specific about his animals though.

Loss of data; inherent security weaknesses.

IT wet dream.

Not directly but the company I work is heavily involved in it. Personally I think it could end up killing the current Internet, millions of cheap insecure Chinese stuff is going to flood the market and then we're all screwed by DDoS etc. let alone your house trying to kill you :p

Loss of data;

Worst. Haiku. Ever.

lol
no security at all
an inherent weakness in something it does not have
hackers wet dream

pretty sure that's not a haiku either

[quote=andytherocketeer ]no security at all

That's not a compulsory feature of IoT though. What you actually mean is that cheap Chinese IoT devices have no security at all (in the same way that lots of them don't comply with electrical regs).

Loss of good data

I'm just a humble cabinetmaker but I'll try my best to help you.
Is it to do with Dovetail joints at all?

Given how hard it is to get Siri to do *anything* with Hue lights, it must be secure

😛

I've done a couple of the base station installs, if that helps!
Doubt that it makes me a guru though.
Ask away caller....

I'm involved in some way or other.

Share the question.

Siri (I think, it could be my car) doesn't recognise my mom's number, because I'm from he midlands and she's called Mom, not Mum.

There's still a long way to go with this kind of guff, Jarvis it aint.

My nex dog will be called Siri. Or Alexa.

My beer fridge is on the internet and I can set/get the temperature using Alexa if that helps ? 😆

My thermostat keeps sending me passive-aggressive emails whenever its battery gets too low.

Share the question.

Web of Intrigue

Might be going on a course about the internet of tat, so just curious to see what all the fuss is about. 8)

Might watch Terminator for a refresher on Skynet.

The appeal of DIY IoT is easy to explain.

You can pick up something like an [url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESP8266 ]ESP8266[/url] for a couple of quid, program it via the Arduino IDE or even with (Micro)Python and away you go.

On a slightly higher level, you can pick up [url= https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/raspberry-pi-zero-w ]a Raspberry Pi Zero W for less than a tenner[/url] and have a fully-fledged little wifi connected computer running *nix.

It's a brave new world wide web.

I too am involved. But it's a massive topic. Like asking "anyone involved in food?".

I hope when the tutor says "any questions" you perform better than you have in this thread so far.

I work in this area, but as above, its huge and covers anything with the ability to connect devices or data to the internet.

I have loads of this stuff in my house now, thermostat, smart bulbs, cctv, TVs etc etc. The only thing I would really like now is a fridge/fridge app to write the shopping list.

FYI, Atom with PlatformIO is a much better dev environment vs Arduino IDE.

IMO having used both (and now firmly in the Atom/PlatformIO camp).

What language is that?

My description was in English but the code is C/C++ 😉

Yet to see a useful example. I have a nest, but it's just like a normal thermostat expect it loses WiFi connection all the time.

For hobbyists IFTTT looks interesting. A guy I work with is messing around with this and can switch on a Hue light when his Ring doorbell goes off. Just a simple example but there are loads of things you can do.

For commercial use around 80% of the use is predicted to be B2B.

This on-line course might be of use if you can get past the really annoying presenter telling you how brilliant he is

I have a nest, but it's just like a normal thermostat expect it loses WiFi connection all the time.

I'm sure a Nest devotee will be along shortly, but isn't the point of the Nest thermostat that:
- it learns how you like the temperature and then does it for you.
- it detects when you leave the house and drops the temperature.
- it knows the local weather and humidity and adjusts itself to compensate.
- it can be controlled remotely (e.g. so you can turn the temperature up before you get home).

Granted none of that is [i]essential[/i] (very little of IoT is) but it seems pretty far from an old plastic Honeywell dial on the wall.
