Abstract
Andy will take us on a tour of some of his exciting IoT projects, starting in the “living lab” he has created at his home on the Isle of Wight in the UK, including his electronic mousetraps. Via tweeting ferries and animatronic dinosaurs, we end up at Marwell zoo in Hampshire, controlling the heating in the animal houses. Andy will explain the MQTT IoT protocol which under-pins these projects, and talk about his current interest: physical digital twins.
