Podcasts about diy iot

This week on the IoT For All Podcast, Konnected Founder Nate Clark joins us to talk DIY IoT solutions, specifically in the home and commercial security space, and how consumers are taking advantage of DIY offerings to build infinitely customizable solutions to suit their own needs. Nate shares why DIY solutions can be so appealing, how Konnected has approached the task of educating the market and empowering users to build their own solutions, and where he thinks the security landscape is going.Through his software development background, Nate discovered an opportunity in his own rental apartment to upgrade an unused security system. Since then, he’s been building solutions to bring affordable IoT solutions to all consumers through Konnected.Interested in connecting with Nate Clark? Reach out to him on Linkedin!About Konnected: Konnected is an open-source solution for connecting wired sensors and switches to home automation platforms including SmartThings, Home Assistant, Hubitat & OpenHAB.Key Questions and Topics from this Episode:(0:55) Intro to Nate Clark(2:42) Intro to Konnected(5:45) Why do consumers choose DIY IoT solutions over pre-built ones?(7:47) Are there any commercial use cases?(10:14) What kind of know-how is required to use these kinds of products?(12:33) Relationship with SmartThings(14:19) DIY Security Landscape in IoT(18:09) How do you approach the intimidating nature of DIY solutions like this?(22:15) What does the future of smart security look like?

For some reason, I thought I heard there was some performance hit from them, so I was a bit worried before reading this. Jack came up with “a performance tests to compare the different size and speed when creating, reading and executing functions for Object, NamedTuple and the new DataClass introduced in Python 3.7” Object NamedTuple DataClass create 2.94 µs 2.01 µs 2.34 µs read property 24.7 ns 26.9 ns 24.7 ns nested property 48.1 ns 75.8 ns 52.1 ns execute function 829 ns 946 ns 821 ns size 56 bytes 80 bytes 56 bytes Marvelous. Dataclass is still awesome. At the very least, it’s on the same order of size and speed as other structures. Further questions: This was a limited bit of code, and performance metrics always depend on what kind of example code was used. If anyone has info about different performance examples that give wildly different results or even similar results, regarding DataClass, I’d love to hear about it. Michael #2: Can My Water Cooled Raspberry Pi Cluster Beat My MacBook? Did you know there were Raspberry Pi clusters? Amazing. Two primary things of interest Pi clusters exist! All the tools and setup to make the pi cluster nodes run in a grid computing scenario Compared against a mediocre HP laptop: 10,000 → 1.69 sec 100,000 → 74 sec 200,000 → 268 sec Compared against an Intel MB Air: 10,000 → .88 sec 100,000 → 83 sec 200,000 → 355 sec Pi cluster, one node: 10,000 → 1.57 sec 100,000 → 148 sec 200,000 → 646 sec Pi cluster, grid computed: 10,000 → .65 sec 100,000 → 22 sec 200,000 → 85 sec Ran the same script on my Mac Mini M1 (on Python 3.9.2 Rosetta, single threaded) 10,000 → .33 sec 100,000 → 24 sec 200,000 → 91 sec Ran the my parallel script on my Mac Mini M1 (on Python 3.9.2 Rosetta, multi-threaded) 10,000 → .28 sec 100,000 → 7 sec 200,000 → 26 sec 500,000 → 2m (vs. 9m on the cluster) Ran the my parallel script on my Alienware sim racing machine (16 core, multi-threaded) 10,000 → .27 sec 100,000 → 2.7 sec 200,000 → 10 sec 500,000 → 1m Video of the Alienware sound Kelly #3: There is an app for that! I am always trying to find time to practice Python and learn more ways to teach Python Basics. I amalways on the go, so having Python Practice online and an online editor is always a plus. Programiz a company out of Nepal, has an IOS and Android app for beginner pythonistas From “Hello World” to Generators and Decorators Original Owners of Programiz: Ranjit Bhatta, Aswin Shrestha and Punit Jajodia Swipe, Learn, and Repeat Has an editor built in Leaderboards Quizzes and “Interview Challenges” (paid) Newest update with 200+ programs Interactive IDE FREE, with minimal app advertising Paid version as well Learn anywhere availability, helps to reduce the Digital Divide 826 million learners online due to Covid19 50% of those learners do not have a household computer 706 million have no at home internet The engineering behind the app and its editor function: https://www.programiz.com/blog/online-python-compiler-engineering/ Brian #4: New packaging security funding & NYU Sumana Harihareswara “New York University – specifically Professor Justin Cappos – and I (Sumana) have successfully asked the US National Science Foundation for a grant to improve Python packaging security. The NSF is awarding NYU $800,000 over two years – from mid-2021 to mid-2023 – to further improve the pip dependency resolver and to integrate The Update Framework further into the packaging toolchain.” “NYU researchers and developers will Further assess and improve pip’s dependency resolver, following up on the work done in 2020 and making ResolveLib more reusable by other tools in the packaging ecology Secure the PyPI-to-user pipeline by integrating TUF support for signed packages throughout PyPI’s clients (we’re targeting conda, pip, and bandersnatch initially)” TUF is The Update Framework (TUF) specification, From theupdateframework.io: “The Update Framework (TUF) helps developers maintain the security of software update systems, providing protection even against attackers that compromise the repository or signing keys. TUF provides a flexible framework and specification that developers can adopt into any software update system. ResolveLib “provides a Resolver class that includes dependency resolution logic.”. It’s an independent project, but vendored by pip bandersnatch “is a PyPI mirror client” Michael #5: Extra x8, hear all about it We on amazon and audible (so is Teaching Python) Sourcery added skip refactorings. I did major refactoring since, favorite: url = request.url if request.url else '' to url = request.url or '' Via Matthew Feickert, it’s easy to become a PSF member and support the PSF Beanie adds indexes! Pycharm (and other JetBrains IDEs) in the browser via Dave Kirby lp.jetbrains.com/projector github.com/JetBrains/projector-installer SQLite as a file format comes to Audacity (via Jon Bultmeyer) Prayson Daniel shared his Neo4J examples using Neomodel. Call for proposals for PyCon Latam just went live Sean #6: Using Development Containers with VS Code for Students One of the big chores at the start of a course is getting everyone set up in the same development environment. Usually takes at least a few classes and nearly impossible to get everyone with the same environment at the end. Solution - use Docker images and the Remote-Containers extension to allow students to run a pre-configured container right in VS Code. Needs VS Code & Docker Desktop (maybe a remote Docker host could make it even easier?) Can deploy directly from a Github repo with persistent storage volumes, default VS Code settings, and even pre-installed packages and environment variables. Seems well suited for universities, experienced learners, etc. Also makes it easy to create different environments by assignment or course unit. What if every Talk Python training course had a GitHub container repo with the same starting environment? Extras: Kelly: https://us.pycon.org/2021/summits/education-training/ Sean: Repl.it adds Python package caching (and gets a 40% speed boost) Home Assistant (actually Nabu Casa) buys ESPHome (makes DIY IoT devices cheap & easy to integrate) It’s good to know a Python programmer if you need a vaccine appointment Joke (in honor of our teachers today):
