Putting the S back into IoT: Tutorial on Sensor and Actor Systems in Small Portable Ad-Hoc Networks
Ulrich Norbisrath, Renato Perotto Machado, Anton Slavin, Matevž Borjan Zorec · 2024
This tutorial introduces participants to the fundamentals and advanced concepts of integrating sensor and actor systems within the Internet of Things (IoT) through hands-on experience with small, portable ad-hoc networks. We will learn to create and manage our own IoT networks by utilizing several ESP32 and ESP8266-based devices connected to various actors and sensors alongside easily configurable IoT edge network set-ups. We will orchestrate the systems using Node-RED for data flow and event-based integration. Simple dashboard and database connectivity options in Node-RED will help us build IoT applications and workflows without the complexity of traditional programming environments.
