[OpenTRV-dev] M2M chatter and Launchpad

[Damon Hart-Davis]

Hi,

It’s all starting!

Today we received a loan Iridium satellite transceiver from Rock7.com, and had a long chat with IBM and Microchip about LoRa (multi-kilometre ISM-band IoT-friendly radio).  You might guess that these are for the IoT Launchpad applications rather than to get a call for heat from radiator to boiler, but I’m hoping that the right pluggable architecture will cover all of these cases with minimal code bloat, etc...

I’m going to try to get a basic network architecture diagram up this evening for everyone to poke holes in, which also works to address some of the security issues.  Sleep is for other people, apparently.

Rgds
