Intro

What is IoT?

Atticus: The “Things” in Internet of Things

Smart devices (“dumb” hardware embedded with “smart” electronics, ie: Hue Lights)

Information providing devices (sensors, ie: motion sensor)

Service that ties it all together 

Atticus: How IoT fits into the JS ecosystem.

A comparison of the event driven characteristics found in both Javascript and the IoT environment. IoT support in the open source community. 

Zach: How we think about IoT application development: Personify rooms and devices, enable them to answer questions. Environment data (i.e. sensors, occupants) result in frequent I/O for apps. Lot of states to track. 

Atticus: Some IoT labs worked on

Grocery list automation: Barcode scanner + rPi + Node

Motion sensor night light: Motion sensor + Arduino + rPi + Node + Hue lights 

How do you decide on what to build next?

How do you guys use Angular? 

Zach: Highly task/location-centric apps running on dedicated devices. Interesting side effect is more freedom to use new DOM safely.

IoT and security

IoT allows access to sometimes devices inside our homes and businesses. Adding more libraries and frameworks on top adds to the security headache. What precautions do we as developers should take? Good practices? How to test it?

Where do you see IoT going in the future? What’s next?
