Key Insights of IoT

Key Insights of IoT
IoT in Startups:
• Funding to IoT startups has grown at a steady clip, more than doubling in 5
years from $768M in 2010 to over $1.9B in 2014. And, 2015 is well on
track to eclipse last year’s record-breaking funding year
IoT in cloud:
• 37.9% of IoT apps are being developed in the Cloud, and 49.6% of
developers plan to begin development there in the next twelve months.
Only 5.5% of IoT developers surveyed have no plans to build their apps in
the Cloud.

Carriots for IoT- Key Features
Platform as a
service (PaaS)
Rest APIs for send
and get data streams
Rule Engine
Access to 3rd
Party APIs
Better for tiny IoT
prototypes or M2M
applications
Device Management
Listeners and Triggers

Carriots for IoT
 Limitations
– Requires 3rd party server for data processing
– No in built support for push notifications
– Only Groovy language support for on-cloud business
logic
 When to use Carriots
It can be used for smaller app where monitoring of
current value of sensor/device is imp and not much
data processing needed

Carriots – Case Study for Smart Air Conditioning
Problem Statement:
It is critical to achieve energy efficiency
in a building by manually adjusting
temperature of air conditioners

Solution- Smart Air Conditioning
IoT app developed using Carriots, monitors the room temperature, the
external weather conditions, user preferences and sends notification to
the HomeKit compatible AC based on predefined set of rules.
Features used: Data streams, Listeners, Email notifications
Internal Sensor
External Sensor
Push notification
User preference

Parse for IoT- Key Features
Backend-as-a-
Service
Open Source
Push notifications
In built user
session APIs
Cross platform support
REST API Support
Monitoring with
analytics
Device Support

Parse for IoT
 Limitations
- No built-in device management
- No. of request vs. economic measure
- Push notifications can be delayed
- Query limitations as no of objects returned in query
 When to use Parse
IoT app on small scale where small DB and
moderate data processing is required

Parse – Case Study for Conference Room Booking
Problem Statement:
Conference room booking is currently
through calendars and not on actual
usage

Solution- Conference Room Booking
IoT app developed using Arduino and Parse to update the availability of
conference room based on sensor data
Features used: Cloud code, Chron Jobs, Push notifications

Kaa for IoT- Key Features
Device Management
Multi platform Support
Open Source
Notifications
Event Handling
End-to-end solution
Supports most protocols
as MQTT, CoAp, XMPP,
TCP, HTTP
Cloud, On-premise or
Hybrid deployment
IoT middleware
platform

Kaa for IoT
 Limitations
- Setup
- Infrastructure
- Endpoint generation
- Deployment
- Scalability
 When to use Kaa
When app need to develop end to end full fledge
solution on premise

Kaa – Case Study for Smart Hospital
Problem Statement:
Providing easy mechanism for patient to
request help or assistance from nurse
instead of traditional call-bell system

Solution- Smart Hospital
IoT application developed using KAA, that helps patient request help with
a single push-button. Nurse who are wearing the smartwatch receive push
notification with appropriate patient details.
Features used: Event Handling, Push notifications, On-premise hosting
Push button
