Ever wanted to be able to control or interact with objects or system over the internet? For example, you might want to check the temperature in your house while you’re at work — and turn on the heat over the internet if it’s too cold. Or you might want to remotely monitor the lighting in your house and draw the shades using your smartphone when the sun beats too strongly.

These are just a few ideas embodied by the “Internet of Things” (IOT) concept — networking objects or systems so that can be remotely monitored or interacted with.

In this workshop, you’ll be building the open-source IOT smart aquaponics platform. The system is designed to monitor and manage an aquaponics garden over the internet, but it can be modified to do whatever you like!

In the 2nd day of class. We will also further configure our embedded linux router to handle the arduino as a serial device. You will learn to program your arduino so you can configure your IOT card to work with any sensor. We will program the embedded linux router to process and send data to the remote database for logging, visualization, monitoring and alerting. We will also learn how to setup up automated control jobs and execute remote IOT commands using the remote database.
