ebook: From Concept to Connected: Your Fast-Track to IoT Product Success
This free, comprehensive ebook is designed specifically for those tasked with transforming a non-IoT product into a connected IoT product. It’s not just theory—it’s a tactical guide that reveals how to go from idea to production-ready product in as little as 12 months.
Enhancing IoT Security: Essential Measures for Protecting Your Devices
By following a few best practices when designing IoT products, it becomes possible to improve the overall security of your device and make a hack much less likely.
ConnectSense Internet Rebooter keeps routers running smoothly
Internet-enabled devices have weaved themselves into every part of the modern home. From smart light bulbs to doorbell security cameras, virtual assistants to elaborate work-from-home setups, seamless connection to the web is more important than ever before. However, as we all have experienced at some point, connection disruptions can cause problems. They can range from the merely annoying, like having to go without social media for a short time, to costly and dangerous, like home security systems going down, leading to a robbery.
Capture Leaking Current Data Smarter
In machinery of all types, electric current leaks prove a common, but inefficient and costly, occurrence. That energy doesn’t have to go to waste, though. With the right smart device, leakage current can provide information that results in optimal efficiency and minimal equipment failures
New ‘universal translator’ for industrial communications
Grid Connect, Inc. and Real Time Automation® (RTA®) have partnered to bring original equipment makers a new embedded module that serves as a universal translator for enabling serial devices (RS-232, 422, 485, SPI, I2C) to communicate via protocols such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET, BACnet/IP and others. OEMs also gain the capability to push data from plant-floor and field devices to analytical and business applications via OPC UA and MQTT.
How to pick your communication protocol
Many factors can influence this decision, from the necessary bandwidth, to existing infrastructure, to security concerns. Letting the application determine the best protocol results in optimal for connectivity solutions, whether operating farming equipment, or shipping supplies, to conflict zones.
Popular Applications for the Internet of Things
There are currently billions of interconnected devices communicating with each other over the internet. These devices are constantly gathering information about their environments, and analyzing the data to help make informed decisions or to automate actions. The Internet of Things (IoT) is made up of a wide-range of devices that can be used for various applications. The applications listed below are only a few of the many possibilities for these devices.
Bluetooth in Home Automation and Internet of Things
Home automation has been on the rise as the cost of integrating wireless communication in devices has dropped significantly.
