Build Your IoT Application in a Day

IoT Application development is required today at all levels. But for people with very low coding knowledge, it is not easy to build/develop what is needed for them. With MQTTRoute, an IoT application framework with an inbuilt MQTT Broker, any early adopters or budding developers can develop, host and manage their application easily. This just leaves their development challenge for their IoT Server application. MQTT Broker comes with a default user interface, however, visualization needs to be built specific for each distinct vertical. We recently run an internal hackathon at Bevywise to build applications over our framework. Interestingly, we were able to build an IoT application in a day. The application built was an Industrial Furnace Monitoring. This blog portrays the hacks used to build the application.

IoT Application for Industrial Temperature Monitoring

Monitoring and control of the temperature of the furnaces is crucial with respect to its usage in the industries as it directly affects the quality of the product that is being created. We have created a simulated device using IoT Simulator similar to a monitoring edge device that pushes data to the MQTT Broker. The goals set for the application were:

Automating IoT With Camunda Platform

Some Background

When I first started at Camunda back in October 2020 (what was 2020 anyway?) the very first thing I was asked to do was come up with something I could do for a special Halloween blog post. It being COVID-times, I of course built a Camunda and IoT integration to evaluate costumes and deliver candy.

I am sort of well-known for doing weird, pointless IoT projects like this one and this one, and this one. You get the idea.

IoT Solutions Are Helping the Elderly Stay Safe and Be More Independent

Introduction

It’s often the case that vulnerable groups are the first to benefit from new technological advances, and that has held true for the evolution of IoT devices. Many of the solutions available in the market today can be practical for the general consumer, but they truly shine when used to help senior citizens and other vulnerable groups live safer and more independent lives.

To give you a sense of how this translates into the real world, let’s go over some IoT applications that are very useful for seniors, and the caregiving-focused products that make use of them.

How to Build IoT Infrastructure and App Using AWS IoT

There are numerous IoT platforms available in the market that can help you handle the challenges of building IoT applications. But, it is vital to choose a suitable and effective platform to create such diverse applications. Amazon Web Services IoT platform is one of the most sought-after platforms for developing IoT applications. But before getting into the technicalities of building IoT applications on AWS IoT, we must understand the platform in detail. In this article, we will talk about:

  1. What is AWS IoT?
  2. What are the features of AWS IoT?
  3. How does AWS IoT work?
  4. Why should you choose the AWS IoT platform?
  5. What are the use cases of AWS IoT?
  6. How to create an IoT infrastructure and build an IoT app using AWS IoT?

Let’s begin by understanding the concept of AWS IoT.
