IoT using Raspberry Pi Workshop at Skyfi Labs Center, Vijayawada

What is this course about?

Internet of Things, or IoT in short, is the idea of making devices and objects smarter by linking them to the internet. With IoT, you could for example have a fridge notify you when there’s no milk. IoT has promising applications for smart homes, wearable devices, smart cities, connected cars and more.

This course introduces you to the amazing world of IoT and its fascinating applications. Using a Raspberry Pi computer and a DHT sensor, you will develop an electronic device that streams temperature and humidity data over the internet. You can program the system in such a way that say whenever the temperature exceeds a certain limit, the device will automatically send an email notification!

Apart from gaining practical skills on the Internet of Things, by doing this project you will learn about the Raspberry Pi development platform which is popular among people who love innovative projects.
