When mobile first came to the fore little did we know it would change our world forever. I have been always interested in the way data was transferred between two devices; started off with Infrared technology; but it was Bluetooth that caught the attention all over the world. During the last few years the aura …

What is ESP8266 The world has not been the same ever since Wi-Fi technology has come to the picture, today Wi-Fi is a household name and is part of our day-to-day life, subsequently devices which uses the Wi-Fi technology has also increased many folds. At this day and age of Internet of Things (IoT), there …
Automation is a main area where IoT will play a key role in the near future. Automation has transformed operations in many areas, including agriculture. Today, companies are developing prototypes for farm and greenhouse automation. Let us look at how automation is done using IoT based smart farming solutions. SMART FARMING PARAMETERS In a smart farming environment, …

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Introduction to Ambient Light Sensor Lighting is an integral part of a building, be it commercial, official or personal space. Today’s generation gives predominant importance to energy conservation systems during building construction. Similarly in a greenhouse environment, lighting system is crucial for plant’s growth. It is important to measure the light parameters in order …
About One Wire Protocol One Wire is a serial device communication protocol designed by Dallas Semiconductor Corp. It uses a single wire for bi-directional communication. It is similar to I2C protocol that helps multiple devices communicate to the same bus but the difference is that one wire protocol has lower data rates and provides a …
Introduction IoT works on Machine to Machine communication. The information is mostly sensor based real time information. Message size being very small requires a protocol that does not consume a large part of the bandwidth. This is exactly what MQTT protocol is all about. MQTT is an acronym for (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport). It was …
IoT is a network of interconnected things which enable things to communicate and take actions even without human intervention. A thing can be a living thing like an animal, plant or even a person or it could be a non-living thing like a device, vehicle or any other equipment. There is a need of a …
What is Xbee? Manufactured by Digi International, the XBee module is a modem used for communication in low-power circuits. The applications which use this are typically low-cost prototyping experiments and embedded development. The XBee uses the Zigbee protocol which is used to create low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPANs). The Zigbee protocol is quite useful …
Imagine how the “future of living” is going to look like; say in 2020. I remember a story from one of the English textbooks; which talked of people buying oxygen cylinders for survival. According to the author of that story by the end of 2020; there would be a depletion of oxygen levels in the …
