  • I asked my Public Library to buy this book and they said ......  YES.

    Hi All - I recently learned about "Internet of Things".  It's a really an interesting and exciting concept!  Since it's almost been a year since this post - thought I'd see if you all have since read the book, what you thought of it and if any of you are working on projects that you'd be willing to share with the Community?

    Hi Nicole,

    I got the book for Xmas, I've had a quick read through but not been able to properly read it yet From what I've seen it will be a good read (Hopefully soon)

    At the moment, I'm working on a 'signs of life' indicator, mean to be for someone who is elderly and living along so someone can just make sure everything is Ok remotely. (I know it sounds morbid, but it is based on a real life situation)

     

    It monitors heat, light and will shortly monitor distance (as in 'is someone in the chair or not?') and send the data to Cosm to be monitored there, along with triggers for temp too low, high and the same for light conditions.

    If you are interested in the subject this is one of the first books before the "marketing buzz" about IofT started going crazy: Interconnecting Smart Objects with IP: The Next Internet , you will also find plenty of resources on-line about this, very interesting papers and presentations.

     

    And one of Vint Cerf presentations is a must watch, here is one you can jump to minute 14.

     

    Cheers

    Hey Steve, thanks for sharing - sounds like a really interesting and useful product - peace of mind for caretakers and family.   It reminds me of a project a few colleagues of mine have been working on building here on the Community - BIME.  The BIME project team is working to create a sensor for persons with dementia that alerts loved ones/caretakers if the person has gotten up from bed.  I think they might be looking for people to join the team with them if you're interested?

    Hi Nicole, thanks for the link, I'm not sure I'd be able to help as I'm a bit of a beginner, but I'll swing by and say 'Hello' :-)

     

    @Jorge: That book looks very interesting, but somewhat expensive ! I'll keep my eye out for that a little cheaper, I'm not sure I can justify £50 at the moment :-( Also an interesting point you make Jorge, as I still prefer print to e-books. I can't seem to read (and take in) anything on a screen, I'm not sure why. My current bedtime reading is 'Building wireless sensor networks' and I'm sure I'd have given up long ago if that had been on a device rather than physical. I wish I could read an e-book and have the information actually stay. Perhaps I'm just strange !
