Building Azure IoT controlled device that costs less than 10 USD
Internet of Things, 0
Monitoring water temperature, opening a yard gate and detecting water flood are just few samples of the many scenarios that simple IoT system can answer. Azure IoT Hub can be used to connect many different types of devices. At the lowest end, you can use it to connect a less than 3$ WiFi capable system on a chip microcontroller, such as the WeMos D1 Pro and NodeMCU. In this lecture we will dive into the details of the Azure IoT hub. We will understand the service and its SDKs. We will see how we can build a WiFI capable, Arduino based, cloud controlled IoT smart switch. We will then use a cross platform Xamarin based application to activate the smart switch. You will learn: • An Internet of Thing system overview • How to create and use the Azure IoT Hub • Implementing an Azure IoT client SDK based solution • Provisioning IoT devices, sending information to the cloud and receiving commands • Arduino development using Visual Studio with Visual Micro
