Just a few weeks ago, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced that they added the ability for their customers to manage IoT solutions. More specifically, they are offering a managed IoT platform that allows to connect your devices using HTTP or MQTT, and that integrates with other AWS services to simplify...

The best thing about the Eclipse IoT community is that that participants real IoT practitioners and IoT experts. Our face-2-face meetings bring together senior technical leaders that are working on the core technology that is powering the IoT solutions of the present and future. This is why I am looking...

I was just asked how one can deploy a similar setup as the iot.eclipse.org MQTT sandbox, where MQTT over WebSockets is available on port 80, just like the rest of the website. There are actually two ways of achieving this. Mosquitto as the main frontend It’s a little-known fact but...

Now that the holiday season is over, we’re fully into “conference season” mode, as the fall is packed with IoT conferences (look at our Events Calendar to see where we will have a presence in the next couple months). Last week, the Eclipse Foundation was exhibiting at M2M Summit with...

When you prototype IoT solutions, it becomes necessary very early in your development phase to use an actual embedded platform to run your software, and to test it in an environment that is as close as possible of what you expect your production environment to be. As I’m sure you...

About 9 months ago, I published a blog post showing up some interesting metrics about the Eclipse IoT open-source community. I have recently crunched the numbers again and here are 3 interesting facts about Eclipse IoT and its developer community: A very diverse community of contributors It is one thing...

About a year ago, we realized that although the IoT is on everyone’s lips, there is a huge lack of technical resources available for people interested in learning more and getting their hands dirty with the solutions available today. Our Virtual IoT meetup group is an attempt, pretty successful so...

One of the great strengths of LightweightM2M (LwM2M) is to be… ahem… lightweight! The fact that it relies on CoAP for the communication, and that all the standard resources are meant to be very concise really helps making very small implementations that can fit in constrained devices. In the video...

High on any list of IoT concerns is the security for an IoT solution. How do you make sure devices only talk to the correct servers and only the ‘correct’ devices talk to your servers? Lots of people point out IoT security is an important issue but very few are...

There are several ongoing initiatives that aim at standardizing protocols and interfaces in order to enable a truly interoperable Internet of Things. On the protocol front, I would certainly argue that the technology is already there and over the last decade standards organizations like OASIS, IETF or the Bluetooth SIG...
