IoT Courses – Samsung TECH INSTITUTE 2016

In July, we were teaching some IoT in the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM – Madrid, Spain), thanks to the Samsung Tech Institute initiative. This month we will provide another IoT course (50 hours) to introduce Internet of Things hardware, and different IoT patterns like sensing, actuating, interaction with services, events reaction, communication between devices,

IoT Device REST API Discovery

In the last console update (1.3.0), we have introduced some new features to improve the development of different clients for interacting with the devices connected to the IoT platform. In this case, we have enabled the Show Query feature that was available in the Device API. This feature will display the

Adding SSL/TLS Support to the ESP8266

In this post we will introduce some new features about securing the Internet of Things, like in our previous post, Securing the Internet of Things, where we introduced SSL/TLS support for the Arduino MKR1000. In this case we are working with the well-known ESP8266, and YES! it supports also secure TLS connections to our Internet of Things platform.

IoT Data Recording

Nowadays, almost all Internet of Things platforms out there are basically servers to store information from devices. It is quite common to see “IoT platforms” that are relying on the same Web technology used during the last decade, but now to communicate with the IoT devices. In this framework, the small

Securing the Internet of Things

Nowadays we are introducing Internet of Things devices in our homes, cars, factories, homebrew equipment, and many other facilities. While some of them are not really critical environments, having unsecure IoT devices surrounding our lives can condition our physical security and privacy. It is easy today to take an Arduino or a similar device, like
