Simple Internet Of Things (IOT) Project For Home ( Part 2)

          More On Configuring the Raspberry pi with Raspian OS Hello, this is my 2nd post on iot for a home project. I thought that it will be good to give you some idea about Raspberry pi and its configurations in this tutorial. Actually Raspberry pi is a small computer which runs Linux kernel. We use Arduino and PIC for electronics but the difference with Rpi is Rpi has a processor. But Arduini and PIC are Micro Controllers. Mirco Controllers does not have much performance like Rpi.  The  Raspberry  Pi   on the other is a complete, functional, mini-computer. It requires an  operating system  . Storage is provided from a micro-SD card. Although the Arduino can be programmed with small C-like applications, it cannot run a full scale “operating system” and certainly won’t be replacing your media centre anytime soon. The  Raspberry Pi,   on the other hand, is a computer.  For this project, I'm using the  Raspberry Pi Model B + It has the follow

Simple Internet Of Things (IOT) Project For Home (part1)

This is a simple project we have done in Short Semester. You can try this at home. Trust me this is simple with some little coding. But in part one we are done some small job. But this small step has the essence of the big idea of IOT. First Let's see what is the IoT concept... The  Internet of Things  ( IoT ) is the network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data. Above definition is on the Wikipedia. So let's get the simple idea of it. In IOT we are making every day-today equipment as a thing of the internet. So as an example imagine if you want to lit a bulb of your home when are in your office you can do it with this technology... okay, I think its enough with definitions... Let's keep our hands dirty..... What you will need for part 1 ??? In this part first, we are creating the IOT hub. Which is the box which we use to conn
