Episode 61

You’ve heard of the KISS principle, right? Keep it Simple Stupid… Well, I don’t think many consumer smart product makers have. Maybe it’s just where we are in the IoT evolutionary cycle but often they take a perfectly fine, and simple, product and heap on to it a lot of complexity when making it smart. Even worst, this complexity often adds very little incremental value.

Listen to this analysis episode (or read the transcript) with Bruce Sinclair where he discusses how making products smart often reduces their value instead of increasing it

Episode 2

It takes a lot of work, behind the scenes work, to establish a successful connection between sensor and IoT Platform. While it’s possible to find off-the-shelf sensor subsystems for common use-cases, often, custom hardware and software design is needed to make the system/connected product/asset operate as desired.

Episode 1

Want to connect your product to the Internet of Things? The first step is giving it senses and then connectivity to the Internet of Things.

Listen to this podcast (or read the transcript) with Adam Justice, a second generation sensors guy who takes us through the two main approaches to get your products, assets or environment on to the next generation Interweb, known as the Internet of Things
