The "Internet of Things" is a catchy way of describing the variety of devices connected through the Internet. This includes webcams, wearable tech like the Pebble and Android Wear watches, car sensors, appliances, and even rudimentary robots. With the Internet of Things (IoT), you can manipulate them from the web. In this course, Michael Lehman shows how to create "things" and build companion apps to monitor and record their activities from Android devices. Learn what's inside a thing, how local communications technologies such as Bluetooth enable app-to-device communications, how to control devices using an Android Wear watch, and how you can create your own things with hardware like the Arduino and Wunderbar. Michael also shows how to use IFTTT services to control things on Android, and muses on the future of IoT. Along the way, you'll gain experience with real-world IoT projects, like a mini weather station and a home lighting system.

Topics include:
  • Exploring the Internet of Things
  • Understanding sensors and effectors
  • Connecting inputs and outputs
  • Connecting to devices via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
  • Creating Bluetooth apps using Android
  • Creating your own things with programmable hardware
  • Using IFTTT to program things

Welcome

"(cymbal swell)" - Hi, I'm Michael Lehman. Welcome to Programming the Internet of Things with Android. All over the world, there are things being invented. Tiny, battery powered Internet connected computers embedded in everything imaginable. Ranging from smart watches like this Pebble, and the Android Wear watch, to car data connectors, and nearly invisible, wearable devices that can you remember to stand up straight, like the Lumo Lift I'm wearing inside my shirt. There are new devices being released every day that keep you safe, remind you when to water your plants, and even offer you a great deal when you get to your favorite section of the local department store.

Many of these devices work with or require an app to capture data over time and provide it connection to the Cloud. In this course, we'll first take a look at what's inside a typical thing and then dive deep into how to build companion apps for your Android devices using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. We'll build a micro weather station, and an app that changes the color of your living room lights, using your Android Wear watch. So, take a deep breath and let's get started programming the Internet of things with Android.
