Internet of Things by Neil Wilkins

You were just woken up in the middle of the night by smart lightbulbs in your house blasting at full power for no reason.

Your bleary-eyed investigation shows they tried to download a firmware update and failed. At that moment, Alexa starts quietly whispering sweet nonsense to herself in the corner and Roomba starts slamming into the nearest wall.

What do you do?

Is your house haunted or have the machines finally started an uprising? Neither – it’s just another day in the IoT wonderland.

This book reveals the concepts and methods powering perhaps the most ambitious technological concept of the twenty-first century – the Internet of Things (IoT) – and parades all the ridiculously named gadgets techies imagined to saturate the market before the competition.
