Poll: What is the most important thing you need to know about IoT right now?

IoT is one of the top three topics the element14 community is interested in. (The other two are single board computers and AI).

 

Over the past year, we have sponsored projects and Design Challenges that are IoT-focused. Our suppliers have sponsored RoadTests and Webinars that are IoT-centric as well.

 

I can't count how many blogs. discussions and other sorts of content that focus on IoT.

 

So, what's left that you really need to know or would like to do?

 

I'm planning for the coming year already. So, what would you like to see.

 

IoT is a big area. Sensors, processors, wireless connectivity, connectors, software -- the list is endless.

    Security of IoT devices and their data has to be the most important topic for me. I have seen different approaches to this in RoadTests I have carried out this year - the HARTING Mica left it up to the…

    I'll chime in with security too. Needs to be some 'beginner/tinkerer' friendly drop in software packages to get us(me...) used to using it from the start.

    I selected connectivity, but I want to emphasize that I need to know more about security of the connections, which may even be more relevant than knowing about how to establish a connection.

    I love the recent adafruit blog: "The S in IoT stands for Security".  What, there's no S in IoT? image

    connectivity and security.

    if have to choose one, security is most important.

    @Allen_Russel beat me to it. I predict there will be a name with a 'S' in it, indicating a secure device.

    Security.  Some newer devices have encryption included, but many don't.  If we're really going to putt the data in the cloud, I need security.

    I'm interested in product design but voted other since I'm more interested in energy-saving solutions like incorporating/designing energy harvesters for IoT, deep sleep solutions and so on.

    My first choice would be conductivity but with that comes the need for security, so I selected other, with an explanation.

     

    IoT opens a smorgasbord of data points. In our rush to enjoy the buffet, we need to ensure the contents are safe to consume.

     

    I would be more willing to embrace IoT if I was more confident security was a focus. Like this survey, security doesn't make a listing but becomes and after thought under the Other category.

    Yes, that's strange all right, considering that uploaded via Chrome and could see in my edit but when posted it only shows an outline. I noticed that's happening with all posts via my inbox since last maintenance update. In fact when using an Android tablet nothing shows up at all - at least with Chrome you saw an outline for the graphic.
