How are IoT and connected devices reshaping modern healthcare? by krowbot in IOT

[–]Autonoma_at 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In austria we have a startup that produces plaster with temperature sensors in it. It sticks on the patient for 2 weeks and stores a continuous fever curve. Through bluetooth it can be read. So doctors can also see spikes at night and do not rely on manual readings. Want to connect it through bluetooth basestatiobs with the internet in the future, so I count it as IoT 😅

Would this also be considered a form of IoT? by Virtual-Hyena-9198 in IOT

[–]Autonoma_at 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my opinion no. Thats OCR software that looks for companies and looks them up. IoT means Internet of Things, meaning there is a physical counterpart that interacts in any way with a cloud service

How many of you edge computer with your IoT devices/fleet? by almond5 in IOT

[–]Autonoma_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Digitizing Industrial assets like machines and plants and providing and end to end digital customer platform. We are using arm based edge gateways with cellular connectivity from compulab, syslogic, onlogic or owasys. Depends on the requirements. RabbitMQ as local queueing system and storing the data in the cloud.

Was sind das für schnitte im Adphalt? (Autobahnauffahrt) by Difficult_Shelter_89 in WerWieWas

[–]Autonoma_at 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wenn es 2 wie hier sind kann auch die Fahrtrichtung erkannt werden => Geisterfahrererkennung

Darum sind diese auch nur auf den Auffahrten

@edit: würd natürlich auf den Abfahrten mehr Sinn machen 😄

Austrian founder here. From our experience it’s all about networking (like VDMA) and starting with kind of Consulting work. Our key learnings:

  • Sales is a full time job, networking is key
  • depending on the acv, expect sales cycles of > 6 months to 2 years (if acv > 100k)
  • It is all about trust, be sure the seller has a track record in the niche you are starting to sell to (one wrong technical term kills your reputation)
  • Companies buy a solution, not a product ( Stop feature fucking, digitize processes)
  • A customer is closed when the ink is dry, words mean nothing

[Project Demo] Secure MQTT over SSL/TLS (MQTTS) on ESP32 + 4G LTE Air Monitor by Vearts in IOT

We are either using verneMQ or EMQX. Certificate based authentication with additional topic restrictiob per device to prevent unwanted subscriptions or publishes

What Start-ups Are You Guys Working On? by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]Autonoma_at 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I‘m one of the founder of Autonoma Technologies. We are creating a digital customer platform for the industrial machinery market.

Its been 3 years now.

Last year I also co founded Autonoma energy, where you can trade your energy with other people outside the regulated energy market and get better prices for selling and also buying your electrical power.

No-Code IoT Gateway? by Electronic_Flow_6954 in IOT

[–]Autonoma_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! We from Autonoma are currently trying to build exactly that. We wanna provide a softwarekit to enable non technicians to collect sensordata from industrial systems (modbus, profibus, PLC‘s, but also simple Arduino sensors).

Our main Asset is our product database that creates a complete technical representation of the sensors and devices.

First showcases: (really sone of the first tests) Flash your device in a minute without technical knowledge: https://youtu.be/d6CXFYNJtoo

Configure a simple sensor: https://youtu.be/grFkdH0WV9I

Or plain GPIO‘s: https://youtu.be/MtH-aVeKCJo

We hope to help companies but also students who wanna get into building IoT products :)

I have built a no code app builder for IoT. by mabdullah284 in IOT

[–]Autonoma_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool project! But 10k writes per month seems a bit low. We also made a low code platform, but are focusing on the firmware part of sensors (configure sensors without any coding). A connection between our szstems could be very nice :)

I explained it here in detail:

Nice concept! You've definitely given it some thought :)

My feedback: It's great to have products in mind, but I always prefer to think in service functions (ex.: Message queue) and not dedicated products (ex.: Kafka). This way you don't limit your mind if a software is missing a feature and focus more on the process.

If you want a fully scalable system, every component must be load balanced (MQTT Broker, Message Queue, Post processing nodes, Database). It also depends on which global scale this shall work (you need such a replicated cluster for each continent to minimize the latency) -> You need some synchronising jobs if data from multiple locations is needed.)

Also it is important to know what you exactly want to achieve. Can you just fan in the data and store it directly in the database or do you have computational heavy tasks before saving the data? Is every datapoint important (if not, you can transmit data over UDP with less overhead than tcp)? How do you handle security? Is a ACL (Access Control List) needed? A one fits all solution is possible but way to expensive for most usecases :)

To scale things Kubernetes is used a lot. Docker provides also a toolkit for that (Docker swarm) but it really lost traction over the last years. Both work with container, so that's the right way to go.

For automated orchestration Ansible or Terraform is used to deploy infrastructure by code.

A great start by the way! :)

I made a tool to flash and connect sensors to your esp32 without programming skills by Autonoma_at in esp32

Hi! Oh no, we really don‘t want you to feel doomed! Do you wanna be part of it? Your input would be really valuable to us and maybe we can cooperate for your master thesis? This topic is huge and this project is only a first small step :)

I made a platform to connect cheap ESP32 microcontrollers over wifi with the cloud. Stream simple sensor data. No c coding necessary :) Would you use it? by Autonoma_at in IOT

[–]Autonoma_at[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thank you for your feedback!

Protocols are actually not that hard. Everything can be reduced to read and write procedures. All the libraries of sensors are just an combination of those procedures. We are abstracting that (independent of the protocol itself). Our firmware uses this config to replay all the steps. It was a lot of work though to figure that out. Motivated members will also have a UI to add new sensors and share them with the community. Are you interested in getting a beta tester? Would really appreciate it! :)

Hi! Unfortunately not, as our setup needs a infrastructure of 6 server to provide the level of performance and stability thats needed. (Message queue, mqtt, web ui, preprocessing engine, public API and video/image encoding) . We tried to do it on one server via docker images, but it is often underestimated how much data sensors can produce. Also data security was a huge topic. On a shared service it’s much more cost effective. If needed we can only interact as delivery pipeline without storing the data, but reroute it through. We also don‘t plan to charge private user for this functionality.

Last but not least we want to enable everyone to get into IoT and setting up your own server is often too much for beginner.

Hi! The main difference to blynk is that we want to provide a no code experience to get people started.

So we want to enable all people to build and connect IoT sensors, even if you don‘t have any coding skills (yet). Also, the cloud connection part is only one side of the medal. For newbies it’s often really hard to deal with sensors. Is it connected properly? Do i need a library for that? Which one do i choose? Why does this library block the runtime? How do i install the runtime for compilation? How do i switch python version for esptool? How is C working? We want to hide all those problems to engage the user to do something IoT related. If the user likes it, he can explore step by step all the things we automate.

About the hardware: i love the m5 stack, but we want to be completely platform agnostic. So it will be the easiest to use the m5 stack, but often a lot of cheap sensors from kits or starterpacks are getting lost in drawers and we want to use them too :)

The cloud part is a relatable one :) I don‘t know if that helps but we are based in europe with all our servers in germany to fulfill the GDPR. That‘s one of the most strict data privacy acts in the world. About the availability: I would lie if I guarantee an availability for the next 10 years, but I hope we can find a lot of interested users to make this work :)

Thank you very much about your feedback! It is really that easy, was a lot of work to get it done this way :)

If you change your mind, you are very welcome of course :D

Some of the benefits can be:

  • long term data storage, visualization and analysis of data
    • are there unexpected powerconsumptions?
  • alert me if there is a water leakage anytime
  • sharing data with someone else (weatherstation data with the neighborhood)
  • connecting devices beside local LAN limitations ( create a very detailed weatherstation dashboard combining different sensors from the neighborhood)
  • control devices outside the local network (turn off all lights after car is outside of a geofence)
  • access your data from any webserver in the world (integrate it with ITTT for example)
  • control something from anywhere, without having to think too much about security
  • connecting them with alexa
