What are some of your favorite IOT applications? Just in simple terms?
By my observation, these seem most popular:
- Remote on/off control; electrical relay, sprinkler valve, lamp socket
- Monitor environment; temperature, humidity, illumination
- Information display; clock, twitter feed, weather report
What else?
Some multimedia applications like radio, network player, etc?
Bt-wifi or 433mhz-wifi gateway (like broadlink)
Wifi remote control for toys (8266 as AP, phone as controller, without internet)
For me, it’s combining monitoring with control. For example, turn the pond pump off if the air temp goes below a certain level, or turning the driveway lights on when the gate is opened.
