Agenda

What Is IoT

What Is Node

Why Node.js and IoT

Two Examples

What Else? Samples, More Samples

What Is IoT


Computing Tomorrow Today


IoT et al. – Types & Uses

Beacons, (indoor) Location Based Services Payments Home / Office Automation Smart Buildings Industry Automation Wearables Connected Cars Smart Cities ….

Very fast moving space Brought to you by the economy of scale of mobile devices

Protocols


IoT = Connected, Thus, Protocols

Many Protocols, in all layers Physical: Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi, RFID, Thread (new),

Ethernet, Radios • Radio frequency, range, power consumption • IP support, Hub/Mesh topology • Examples: iBeacon (BLE) and Philips Hue (Zigbee)

Session / Communication: • HTTP, CoAP (doc transfer)

• XMPP, MQTT, AMQP (pub/sub) What protocol to choose will vary on goals and application

(QoS, Industry/Consumer)


Two Examples: iBeacons and Philips Hue

Apple iBeacon – notification protocol on BLE • Signal 2/s – 10/s, 3-6months/2years battery

• Power (proximity) and UID (identity)

• Point-to-Point, no pairing, 50 meters

• Indoor microlocation, retail, etc…

Philips Hue • Ethernet/IP (Bridge) + Zigbee/Mesh (Bulb)

• AC power

• REST interface (to bridge)

• Home automation

Smart Glasses


Display: Glass vs. BT-200

Monocular Small FOV

Binocular Large FOV

Google Glass


Business Use Cases and Key Verticals – Smart Glasses

Business Use Cases • Rich Communications – phone, messaging, video conferencing, video sharing

• Continuous data streaming – messages, tasks, alerts

• Augmented reality – Training, recording, next-step guideance, compliance

Key Verticals – Enable “Deskless Workers” 10% of workforce • Military

• Healthcare

• Manufacturing

• Logistics

• Energy/Utilities

Home Automation


Home – Philips Hue, Nest

Building Energy Management – Enlighted Inc

Commercial Appliance Management

ESEV Charging Infrastructure

Home & Building Automation / Industrial Management


Business Use Cases

House – Remote control and monitoring,

Automation, Energy monitoring and savings…

Smart Buildings – Better efficiency, Compliance

with new laws (California Title 24)

Industry 4.0, Smart Manufacturing

Business Use Cases – House, Office Automation, Smart Buildings

Recall Apple’s track record of moving from “consumer” to “enterprise”

Wearables


Health / Wearables

Fast moving field

Fitnets bands

Smart watches

Smart clothing

Smart glasses

Wearables – Telematics


Connected Cars

Remote Access to Cars (Tesla, FIAT) and Chargers OTA (Over-the-Air) Fixes pushed to Tesla Cars Vehicle tracking, fleets, taxis….

Beacons


Business Use Cases – Beacons

Business Use Cases

• Retail – Targeted Advertising, Special Offers, Loyalty Apps, Indoor Micro-location and Navigation

• Warehousing – Location, Inventory

• Electronic Payments

Some Ongoing Trials:

Smart Cities


Smart Cities

Garbage Trucks Lights Utilities Traffic Lights Government 2.0

So… How Can I Build These Apps?


Enter Modulus

What Is Node.js


Node.js = V8 + libuv (+ xtras) + Community (NPM)

A JavaScript Runtime to run outside of the browser

Builds on the Javascript V8 engine and libuv library for async IO

Highly Efficient

Highly Portable

Event-Driven

Built-in package manager (NPM)


Why Are JavaScript & Node Growing So Fast?

Why JavaScript?

Virtually all developers know it Widest developer footprint of any language

Easy to learn, productive Even business users learn it fast

Used for everything Browser, Server-side, Mobile, Wearables, IoT

Used at all levels of the stack Frontend, middleware and backend DB

Maximizes developer collaboration All developers can contribute everywhere

Why Node?

Event-based model, highly scalable Great for data-intensive, real-time apps

Web API Focused Very good fit for API-first architectures

Extremely efficient Requires few computational resources

Incredible Community and Ecosystem Over 97,000 packages

Fast and easy setup Passes the 5 minute test
