The Internet Of Things (IoT) is referred usually as a network of physical objects, that could range among sensors, vehicles, specific systems like watering systems for gardens, home security systems, whether stations... you name it.
Today everything can be connected online to internet and express themselves trough data that can be stored, analyzed and interpreted and could lead to different actions depending on the observation. These actions may be related to actuators that execute things, or may be processing and communicating data to other systems to the better understanding of it, to feed more intelligent systems, and the like.
Could be an ecosystem of technology, modular smart devices that can be related to each other in a vast super cluster of individual data producers that can be consumed via data consumers to aim to a bigger goal. Examples of this could be smart grids, smart cities, intelligent transportation, smart homes, etc.
The world is changing, and this is considered the industrial revolution of these days. We are about to ride this wave, that is becoming a huge one.
Some of the technologies that enables this phenomenon are RFID, low energy Wifi enabled Devices, Optical tags, zigbee devices, LTE enabled devices, among others.
In the following entries I will try to share some of the things that I have been doing learning how to interact and program devices to produce and recover data to build intelligent devices.
