I am presenting 2 sessions in the Carolina Code Camp 2013 Builder Faire track. The first session is called Building a Home Security System – The Introduction. The second session is Building a Home Security System – The Lab. You really need to come to both sessions as the first session explains what you will be building in the second session. Yes I said that right, if you attend the second session you will be building a Netduino based security system that connects to Windows Azure. Check out the project website for more details at Cloud Home Security.
I put together a talk that includes a lab on building a security/home automation system using 11 netduinos communicating over MQTT with a broker located in Windows Azure. The attendees of this talk will walk through the lab and build out various components of a security system.
Here is a video demonstrating the various components of the system.
The source for the project can be found on github:
The Security System website is hosted on a Web Role and it contains all the documentation for the lab.
In December I will be presenting this talk for the Charlotte Alt.Net users group. This talk is less about presenting and more about actually coding up a device that connects to the cloud.
This is not a sit back and watch the speaker meeting. As a participant in this project you will be building the devices that complete a Simulated Home Security system. There will be some basic code that is written for you but for the most part it will be your job to complete the code and make the device functional. The cloud service that connects all the devices via a message bus will already be completed and deployed to Windows Azure for you to use. Your device will publish and subscribe to messages on the bus.
Come out to the event and learn how to connect a Netduino Plus to Windows Azure.
