IOT Tech Expo

I had been to the Internet of Things expo which happened in Olympia tech park on Feb 10th and 11th. Intel is the main sponsor for the event. It hosted several different IOT providers from the Europe. It had been a fantastic 2 day event for me personally. 

Hackathon

As a part of the event, they conducted the hackathon from Intel and Microtech. Challenge is to develop a IOT gateway application from Intel and to develop an application using the Microtech link it board from Microtech. Both these streams offered board and Grove kit to work on. Provided grove kit offered a variety of sensors ranging from Light, temperature, vibration, dust and many more.
Here are my Hackaton team members. 
We did an intruder alert system which listens to the sound vibration ,raises the alarm and pushes the notification to the homeowner. We also developed the Stealth monitoring application which plots the graph of light, temperature and sound indicators in the cloud using the Intel’s cloud platform.

 IOT world
This event gave a different perception about the IOT world. Having seen the offerings from major IOT providers in the Europe, It seemed that industry has grown immensely in designing the chip with a variety of sensors within few centimetres of the chip. Also, there is a lot of opportunities for application developers to develop the application using these highly sophisticated chips. In next decade, we are hopeful to see a matured IOT industry. However, in the current circumstances, we have a lot of challenges in implementing the IOT applications.
  • Lack of standards: Every manufacturer is having their own standards. The push towards the open standards will make the industry mature.
  • Security: In this world of information, keeping the information safe is a paramount responsibility for all the system owners. The mindset of implementing the MVP for the products and forgetting about the security provides a lot of opportunities for hackers.
  • Security updates: As the industry is growing at rapid pace, products become obsolete in a matter of 6 months time. Old devices are becoming prey to the hackers without the constant security fix.
Any growing industry will face the above challenges. Our human intelligence will address these challenges and make the things happen in near future.

Final Word

House with intelligent lighting control, intelligent windows blind, smart energy management, electronically secured and smart electronic devices are not dreams for the future generations. These high-end smart innovations will be de facto standard in next 10 years. I am highly upbeat about it.

Back Home at Leeds

Image
Having traveled for several days altogether coming back to home is like finishing the last lap and taking the podium. Standing on the podium without the race is meaningless. On Oct 29th, I started from Leeds and reached Wembley. From Wembley, toured to Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and France. On Oct 7th, back to London finished the European tour. However, my personal adventure continued further to Hatfield as I had asked to move there right from the tour on next day. With the same Euro trip luggage been through the ups and downs of London underground station and found my way to Hatfield at the Odd midnight hours. Again luxury stays at the hotel as in the Euro trip, but I didn't enjoy much as I had to be alone in the hotel room. I did 101 ways to kill the time in the hotel room all alone without the internet and with boring documentary channels. I started my day with proper English breakfast to keep myself energetic without any other food. Ate a lot of breakfast to sustain

Just about my Sister on her Birthday!

Image
My best constant childhood enemy at home Till I realise, what is fondness and care? A truly opposite charisma Yet, we share the same blood. Very lately, understood in my childhood Having sister is lovely and great. I understood this only when we came off from home Not in the TV remote combat in the home. More than a mother She knows me A Second mother. Here, I am not too emotional :-) Still, I remember blazing colour shirts And, dazzling ideas which she has given to me. I didn't express myself as a brother thoroughly. This doesn't happen anymore from now on. Successful or not, White or dark, Here or there, This way or that way, One thing never changes. "She is my sweet sister" I wish joy, love, and cheerfulness to be with her forever. :-) Penned down this on My Sister's Birthday. Just to show how I kept her in my heart which I have never shown her before.

How does love work in this Planet?

Recent studies say Indians are happiest people in this world. The relationship is the top reason for the happiness of Indians. The ultimate business of all the human beings in this world is Well being. Keeping a good relationship with others and self is key to being a good being. The relationship is a too vague topic for everyone. Without this, there is nothing in this world. The moment we born in this world we are bound to have relationships. For this relationship to grow and give the fruit, Love is the root. When we do everything with love, there is nothing in this world which stops you. If you see the fundas of this planet, you would be amazed to know how love works here. What I am calling as love is without expecting anything in return just give yourself 100%. Simple tree in your street (which is most neglected) expects nothing but simply be there and does an amazing job. Does it expect anything from you? No.. There is one more friend who is the most important person for every
