IoT (Internet of Things) short info

The Internet of Things (IoT) will massive change the world of IT professionals. Machine-to-machine communication, home automation and other new ways of communication or management will deeply move into the business and private world.

IoT is the next multi-billion dollar tech market where IT professionals will meet people from home automation, office and production automation, PLC (programmable logic controller) developers and transportation engineers. All of them are fighting for their part of the market.

Customers wants to switch heating on or off from their smartphone in the same way as they want to control home or office lights, doors, cams and even the fridge. Not enough, they want the lights go on the time they arrive at home, wants to see the location of family members or business staff on maps and far more.

Machines will communicate with machines to securely drive without a human, order missing food in your home and alert in case of emergency.

Developer, designers and managers already have $ signs in their eyes every time thinking about the M2M (machine-to-machine) market.

I am not sure we really want to have that way of control and communication entering and changing our personal live that much, but we will have to live with it and so we have to deal with the security of IoT.

Introducing a fully featured Open Source Software, available as source code and binary version for Windows, Linux and MAC.
