IoT- Internet of Things

"If you think that the internet has changed your life, think again. The IoT is about to change it all over again!” - — Brendan O’Brien, Aria systems

When we talk about an Internet of Thing, it’s not just putting RFID tags on some dumb thing is. It’s about embedding intelligence so things become smarter & do more than they were proposed to do. Can you imagine a computing concept where everyday objects have network connectivity? Is it possible for ordinary devices to communicate among themselves?

Yes!! And the answer is ‘the Internet of Things’.

This Network of networks extracts and makes sense of data within machines. An estimated of 50 Billion wireless devices are to be connected to the internet in future. Interesting! Isn't it?

How beautiful it is when your door can update its Facebook Status every time some one opens it. A song starts playing when you tweet about it. A fire sensor that automatically send an E-Mail to the fire department. Keeping all the awesomeness in mind Innovians Technologies has introduced the Internet of things workshop to get you ready for the future.

You’ll learn the basic concepts and features of the Internet of Things and build projects utilizing the Arduino platform. You’ll discover fundamental concepts of cloud computing, sensor reading and connecting the Arduino to the Internet, wireless interfaces and controlling things with Android phones. You’ll also learn to use the most popular open platforms for managing sensor data from the Arduino, how to trigger actuators remotely, and how to read information on your Android Smart Phones.
