• 2. Agenda Agenda What is IoT Why IoT? My home automation system architecture Q/A
• 3. What is IoT? What is IoT? Internet of Things Internet connected objects (things) working together to solve a business problem Has been around for quite a while, but only recently has become affordable for personal use
• 4. What are the “Things” in the IoT? What are the “Things” in the IoT? Could be anything Physical Virtual
• 5. Why IoT? Why IoT? Generate, collect, process and use acquired information to make better decisions Smart objects: Make things that weren’t meant to talk to each other interact smartly Gartner says the Internet of Things installed base will grow to 26 Billion units by 2020; I want to be well aligned and prepared for that
• 6. Generate, collect, process and use acquired information to make decisions Generate, collect, process and use acquired information to make decisions DIKW model Information is inferred from data, in the process of answering interrogative questions (e.g., "who", "what", "where", "how many", "when"), thereby making the data useful for "decisions and/or action". Knowledge as "synthesis of multiple sources of information over time"
• 7. Smart objects: Make things that weren’t meant to talk to each other interact smartly Smart objects: Make things that weren’t meant to talk to each other interact smartly Phone  Location detection, presence detection  Thermostat Doorbell activation  CCTV takes picture Email + SMS + Tweet Fire Alarm  Email + SMS Security System CCTV  Email + SMS Climate control  presence @ home & weather forecast Hot water tank 1   Hot water tank 2   our presence, weather forecast Dog CCTV + Email Weather notifications  email
• 8. Influence others to reduce their carbon footprint by sharing socially your metrics Influence others to reduce their carbon footprint by sharing socially your metrics Alex Laskey: How behavioral science can lower your energy bill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cJ08wOqloc •My @iot_house tweets power consumption statistics
• 9. Challenges Challenges Global cooperation Proprietary and incompatible protocols Lack of APIs Example: Common external power supply Technological challenges Power usage Scalability Security Communication mechanisms Ethics, control society, surveillance, consent and data driven life
