Launching #IoTevery9th, count down to #IoTday 9th april 2015

december 9, 2014 Publisher

We are launching a count down towards the official iotday.org.

December 9th

workshop done by Evothings try it out at https://github.com/Sionarch/xmpp-hybrid-app-examples

January 9th

Using python to connect xmpp devices get your raspberries connected to a network and publish dem globally. Follow the simple example

Set up your own disco lights with philips hue integration and XMPP. use this easy to set up python integration providing ”hue, sat, bri, st” values to be controlled both over standard xmpp based on XEP 323 and XEP 325

Mars 9th

Setting up and Intel Edison board and the GPIO’s to be accessed securely over the XMPP network. The new Intel Edison board with it’s Aurduino compatibility IO is a fantastic platform to create interesting IoT stuff

On 9th of April 2015 the official Global IoT day.

The Global IoTDay is a Internet of Things council initiative and will take place for the 5th year 2015. There will be a lot of action and activities around the world!

Let the alarm chimes ring! Severe security breaches in building automation systems

november 3, 2014 Publisher

Swedens largest newspaper Dagens Nyheter just revealed severe security breaches on buildings in Sweden not only apartment buildings but also police offices and other important builings have their systems open to internet.

The problem is that the building automation equipment is more and more sophisticated and unskilled personnel in combination with por design makes it hard to enforce any security.

End users need access to the washing booking systems o you open a web port on the firewall.
Operators need access to a ventilation unit.
Installers don’t know where to put the passwords so they leave the default ones.

In an average building today it is only a poorly configured internet modem/firewall that keeps the systems from being accessed from internet. And when several holes are drilled in it to gain access it is easy to gain access and control many of the systems.

Internet modems easily crackable
Police office disconnects internet cable

Smart Sustainable Cities Day 2014

oktober 9, 2014 Publisher

At the event Smart sustainable cities day I held a talk on the theme of the cities grids and the need for Internet Of Things in them

The energy landscape is changing rapidly and we are demanding instant access to energy everywhere. IoT is needed in endpoints not only to measure for payment but also to interact with the grid managing peak loads.

Abstract and slides are here

The electric revolution

september 13, 2014 Publisher

I was thrilled to see the first formula E electric racing. This is reallay a fantastic trend! The evolution of electrical motors killing the old oil based ones. With clean renewables we will get everything over to electric.

We also see changes in motorcross and motorcycles my son is longing for this

IoT, will we ever leave the silos?

juni 25, 2014 Publisher

Internet of Things is today huge, but as always it is hyped and includes almost every-Thing. Today we are back in the 1990’s creating business models based on a connected thing, letting the mainframe investigate and use our data. And for me as a customer I again, as it was in the 1990’s, end up with a bunch of incompatible systems, today called apps.

from Postscapes I found a very good sentence

When data is removed from siloed warehouses and is able to be identified and shared between products and services like it is within the current Internet architecture a true Internet of Things can emerge.

The explosion on apps on the phone is a result of innovation, based on the easy accessible sensors on the phone such as, camera, temperature, gps, gyro etc. Imagine the services that could be created if all IoT things was as easy to use as if they all were in the same phone? And in that case which phone?

We will always need integration and a way to interconnect system, IoT also needs that and no company based solution should win expecially if they own a phone. Please go for open solutions when you create your things, from my heart I think that XMPP-IoT is one of the more beautiful solutions.
