The Internet of Things (IOT) is a mind boggling idea comprised of numerous PCs and numerous correspondence ways. Some IOT gadgets are associated with the Internet and some are definitely not. Some IOT gadgets structure swarms that convey among themselves. Some are intended for a solitary reason, while some are more broadly useful PCs. This book is intended to show you the IOT from the back to front. By building IOT gadgets, the reader will comprehend the fundamental ideas and will have the option to advance utilizing the nuts and bolts to make their own IOT applications.

These included tasks will tell the reader the best way to manufacture their own IOT projects and to develop the models appeared. The significance of Computer Security in IOT gadgets is additionally examined and different procedures for protecting the IOT from unapproved clients or programmers. The main takeaway from this book is in building the undertakings yourself.

In this book, we built examples of all the major parts of simple and complex IOT devices. In Chapter 1, the basic concepts of IOT are explained in basic terms, and you will learn what parts and tools are needed to start prototyping your own IOT devices.

In Chapter 2, you'll learn how to sense the environment with electronics and that even the behaviour of simple LightSwarm type of devices can be very unpredictable.

Chapter 3 introduces important concepts about how to build real systems that can respond to power issues and programming errors by the use of good system design and watchdogs.

Chapter 4 turns a Raspberry Pi into a battery-powered device that senses iBeacons and controls the lighting in a house while reporting your location to a server.

In Chapter 5, you'll do IOT the way the big boys do by connecting up to the IBM BlueMix IOT Server and sending our biometric pulse rates up for storage and display.

In Chapter 6, we'll build a small RFID Inventory system and use standard protocols like MQTT to send information to a Raspberry Pi, a complete IOT product.

Chapter 7shows the dark side of the IOT, Computer Security. The way you protect your IOT device from hackers and network problems is the most difficult part of IOT device and system design.

Are you totally secure? You will never know. Plan for it.
