The Internet of Things and Safety Around the Home

In this installment of the Internet of Things, we take a look at how safety around your home has evolved. We've gone from loud, blaring alarms and simplistic security systems to something much more hands-on and its all thanks to your Internet Connection and how it connects you to home even when you're not there.

It might seem so foreign to us that many of the so-called smart electronic gadgets that we have at home, can in fact be a security risk at large. That includes smart cars!
Here's an example on the hacking of the IoT starting by a car: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/07/21/hack-connected-car-raises-alarm-over-driver-safety/304...

  • The Internet of things and your television

    Almost all the information currently on the Internet is created by humans. Content mainly produced by people. But the Internet of Things (IoT) is about devices connected to the Internet and interacting with other connected things and to a small extent with humans, and providing its own content. It is a concept that has enormous potential to impact how we live and work and is already starting to impact the home. But we are just at the tip of the iceberg. Smart TVs already comprise some of the billions of “things” currently connected to the Internet, and they will definitely have a role to play as the Internet of Things unfolds. I will start to identify that potential.

  • The Internet of things and computing

    Smart devices, connected homes, embedded connected sensors, mobile devices and computers are all coming together in the Internet of Things (IoT). This massive network is constantly connected, constantly exchanging information and if it isn’t already, your home will soon be part of it. Your PC is a part of the IoT—both as a connected device itself and as an interface to other devices—and your Wi-Fi router is a critical, but often overlooked component. In this part of our Internet of Things series, I take a look at the role your computer plays and especially the importance of that Wi-Fi router.

  • The Internet of Things and appliances

    Does your fridge talk to your smartphone and let you know that you’re out of milk or butter? Can your stove turn on wirelessly based on a recipe you’ve created and plugged in? Maybe your washing machine can send you a text if you forgot the fabric softener or your laundry is on the verge of becoming smelly from being left behind? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I'm jealous, but thanks to the Internet of Things, having my very own WiFi enabled appliances isn't that far off.

  • The Internet of Things and Wearables

    In this edition of The Internet of Things series, we take a look at Wearables. A newer entry into the IoT series, this entry takes a look at what wearables contribute now and what they can contribute in the future.

    About 250 total wireless and Ethernet addresses, with a limit of 50 for wireless devices........assuming that it is the AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule that is acting as the router handing out the IP addresses.

  • SAP Hana Internet of Things IoT Edition

    Hi All,
    a new OSS Note was published on Friday as the Central Note for the SAP Hana Internet of Things IoT Edition:
              OSS 2008304 - SAP HANA platform, Internet of Things (IoT) edition 1.0 Central Note
    This is represents a very interesting direction.
    Andy.

    Hi Moya,
    thank you.
    I won't make it to LA, but thanks for the offer and email contact.
    Tying everything together, there is a very interesting blog today on Industry 4.0
    which ties in nicely with this presentation on M2M, Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 – An Industry Perspective
    Obviously, when all of these Machines and Devices and Objects are sending and receiving data, there'll need to be an exchange in the middle with a very fast database, hence the SAP Hana Internet of Things Edition.

  • Interesting Document: Service Deployment  and Service Configuration  within the Internet of Things

    Hi All,
    an interesting document:
              Service Deployment  and Service Configuration  within the Internet of Things
    Best regards,
    Andy.

    Hello Marek,
    I suppose you are not planning to do any kinds of advanced config using several VLANs and multiple SSIDs so let's just make your configuration simple and working.
    In short, you need to remove all references to VLAN 1 and to any subinterfaces possibly related to the VLAN 1. This means in particular (follow these steps in sequence):
    Remove the Dot11Radio0.1 subinterface entirely
    In the Dot11Radio0 section, remove the encryption vlan 1 mode ciphers tkip command
    In the dot11 ssid ciscowifi section, remove the vlan 1 command
    After performing these steps, make sure that the ssid ciscowifi and encryption mode commands are still present in the Dot11Radio0 configuration, and if not, reenter them.
    Best regards,
    Peter

  • Hello. I recently purchased a macbook pro, and is, and learn some things. and I have apple tv, and the question is can I send a movie from macbook and surf the Internet simultaneously without interrupting the movie?

    hello.
    I recently purchased a macbook pro, and is, and learn some things. and I have apple tv, and the question is can I send a movie from macbook and surf the Internet simultaneously without interrupting the movie?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
    This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

  • After the Airport update today, Airport Utility no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?

    After the Airport update today, Airport Utility 6.0 no longer sees my new Extreme or my 2 new Airport Express relay stations (same network); however, my internet is working and all Airports are green?  I'm running Lion on my iMac and updated when Airport Utility prompted me to do so a few hours ago.  After applying the updates is when Airport Utility stopped seeing my routers.  But they are working?  Thoughts?

    Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
    You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
    If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
    Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
    Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
    Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
    Check the network

  • How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better?

    How can I change the insert SWF File, I need to add a few things and make it better? Is there an option inside of the dreamweaver menu that I am not looking at. It would make it easier on me if I changed some things around and didn't have to do it all myself each time I used it. Just incase you was needing to remember what swf flash was, It is not a swf video either.

    If I understand correctly, Sonic Kaboom.swf needs to be edited in a separate Flash authoring program and then reinserted into your HTML document. 
    As Murray said, Flash is dead.  Nobody uses it anymore.   We use HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript animations which have universal support from Smartphones, Tablets and other web devices that can't support Flash.   Look at Edge Animate.

  • Ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes, has anyone else had the same experience. have rung Apple Care and they have reset my connection but it is still happening

    ever since I installed Lion my internet connection comes and goes....have reported this to Apple Care who have helped me reset my connection but it is still happening...cant believe it is a fault of the ISP as my Iphone does not have this problem, nor does my PC laptop...is this a fault in the new system?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • I have been tring to get on FaceTime, all day.  I have changed my password, and I still can not get in.  I was on it last night, and today, it says to check modem.  The internet is working and I still can not get in.

    I am  trying to use FaceTime, a lady, and it does not work.  It worked, last nite.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Flash moving my symbols and layers around the stage

    Every now and then if I close and reopen flash, it will randomly move different layers and symbols around so they're a discombobulated mess.  My animation isn't smooth anymore and I have to try to piece it back together, but it never looks as nice as it did when I first drew it.  It seems to pick things at random.  Here is an example: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/54053846/fennec%20running7.swf
    Sometimes I'll start drawing and it'll brush stroke like, 100 px to the left of where I'm trying to draw, too.
    What am I doing wrong?  I noticed that it often happens right after I change the stage size to match the contents (sometimes I draw off the stage and instead of making it a symbol to fit within the stage, I just change the stage size).
