Introduction

Where are we going?

Where are we going?
Very few people live in a single device world anymore.

Where are we going?
The days of audience viewing content on the desktop are dying.

Where are we going?
According to Flurry: - If you want to reach 80% of the current mobile device market, you need to support 156 device models.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Mobile subscriptions will exceed the number of people in the world by early 2014. (OECD)

A family of four will move from having 10 connected devices in 2012, to 25 in 2017, to 50 in 2022. (BBC)
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
There will be about 15 billion devices connected by 2015, and around 40 billion devices by 2020. (cisco)
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
By 2020 nodes/sensors will account for the majority (60 percent) of the total installed base of IoE (Internet
of Everything) devices. (ABI)
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
That means 16 BILLION devices will need content in 2020.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
WHERE WILL ALL THIS CONTENT COME FROM?
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Before we get to that…
lets look at some more trends.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Connected devices can be any number of things
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Cows are being equipped with pay-as-you-go devices,
which can send SMS texts when they are
in heat.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Each cow transmits 200 MB of data each year. (cisco)
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
In October 2013, Cisco launched an entire business division devoted to the internet of things.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
The IOT is expected to create an additional $1.9 trillion for the economy by 2020.

Four Stages of Development
According to GigaOm analysts we expect four stages of IOE development: • Passive tracking
• More-active interactions
• A more aware landscape of physical objects, devices,
and structures
• An autonomous landscape

Four Expected Sets of Devices(GigaOm)
Passive things are in some way remotely identifiable and connectable but relatively dumb. RFID- tagged books, furniture items, and spare parts fit into this category. Active items can exchange sensory data, control information, and gain a level of interaction. Foodstuffs, farm animals, roads, and bridges are examples here. Aware items can process data and take action in response to events. This includes doors and windows, driverless trains, and electrical appliances. Autonomous items can make decisions based on built-in rules running locally or remotely. As well as intelligent thermostats and smart grids, examples include self-driving cars.

Fun fact: RFID’s technology was used during WWII by
British planes to tell friend from foe
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Startups are creating monitoring devices that can be connected to many things like light bulbs, garage
doors, and windows. It can even be simply left in the basement to check for water leaks. (GigaOm)
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
“Things” don’t necessarily have to be small: Buses, trains, and cars can be fit with monitoring devices, so they can provide accurate information to both
control rooms and customers. (GigaOm)

So that brings us back around to WordPress

Why use WordPress for IOT?
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
WordPress is already being used as an application framework
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
The next step is using plug ins as an API and drive content to and from connected devices.

STORY TIME!

How do you do this?
There are a few connection services to try. MongoDB and Sensor Monkey make API’s for data that can be used.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
Not without risks
A model of fridge similar to this got hacked and turned into an email spam machine.
September 2013 Presented By: Tomás Puig @tnpuig
WordPress through it’s plugin framework is the best positioned to be the system of record for showing
data from connected devices.
