It's the podcast so nice we recorded it twice! Despite some technical difficulties (note to self: press the record button significantly before recording the outro), Elliot and Dan were able to soldier through our rundown of the week's top hacks. We kicked things off with a roundup of virtual keyboards for the alternate reality crowd, which begged the question of why you'd even need such a thing. We also looked at a couple of cool demoscene-adjacent projects, such as the ultimate in oscilloscope music and a hybrid knob/jack for eurorack synth modules.  We also dialed the Wayback Machine into antiquity to take a look at Clickspring's take on the origins of precision machining; spoiler alert -- you can make gas-tight concentric brass tubing using a bow-driven lathe. There's a squishy pneumatic robot gripper, an MQTT-enabled random number generator, a feline-friendly digital stethoscope, and a typewriter that'll make you Dymo label maker jealous. We'll also mourn the demise of electronics magazines and ponder how your favorite website fills that gap, and learn why it's really hard to keep open-source software lean and clean. Short answer: because it's made by people.

Kevin McClusky, chief technology architect at Inductive Automation, explains why and how IT technologies such as containers, DevOps, application management and MQTT are impacting industrial operations technologies.

Am Beispiel eines Projekts mit DMG MORI und der Plattform CELOS X zeigt die Folge, wie Penetration Tests in der Praxis ablaufen, welche Angriffsvektoren im IoT-Kontext eine Rolle spielen und wie Konzepte wie DevSecOps und der Cyber Resilience Act die Entwicklung sicherer Lösungen beeinflussen.Folge 165 auf einen Blick (und Klick):(10:55) Herausforderungen, Potenziale und Status quo – So sieht der Use Case in der Praxis aus(16:08) Lösungen, Angebote und Services – Ein Blick auf die eingesetzten Technologien (22:02) Übertragbarkeit, Skalierung und nächste Schritte – So könnt ihr diesen Use Case nutzen Podcast ZusammenfassungWie sicher sind eigentlich meine digitalen Produkte im Feld? Diese Frage stellen sich viele Hersteller – spätestens, wenn es um vernetzte Maschinen, IoT-Plattformen oder Kundenportale geht. Genau darum geht es in dieser Podcastfolge mit Michael Buchenberg, Head of IT Security bei XITASO.Am Beispiel eines Projekts mit DMG MORI und der Plattform CELOS X wird praxisnah aufgezeigt, wie Penetration Tests helfen, reale Schwachstellen frühzeitig zu identifizieren – etwa in Maschinen, Cloud-Anbindungen oder Standard-Schnittstellen wie OPC UA oder MQTT. Getestet wird unter realistischen Bedingungen: direkt an der Maschine im Shopfloor.Zentrale Herausforderungen:Historisch gewachsener Code (z. B. alte SPS-Programme), der nicht für Vernetzung entwickelt wurdeMangelnde Transparenz über Risiken im Gesamtsystem – von der Maschine bis zur CloudFehlendes Schwachstellenmanagement in der ProduktentwicklungSorgen von Endkunden beim Umgang mit sensiblen ProduktionsdatenLösungsansatz: Neben klassischem Penetration Testing spricht Michael über den Ansatz DevSecOps – also das frühzeitige Mitdenken von Sicherheit in der Software- und Produktentwicklung. Entscheidend ist dabei: Wer potenzielle Schwachstellen schon in der Architektur erkennt, spart Aufwand und Kosten in späteren Phasen.Regulatorische Relevanz:Mit dem Cyber Resilience Act und der NIS-2-Richtlinie wird Sicherheit zur Pflicht. Hersteller müssen künftig aktiv nach Schwachstellen suchen, Updates bereitstellen und Sicherheit über den gesamten Produktlebenszyklus sicherstellen.Die Folge liefert klare Best Practices und einen Realitätscheck für alle, die IoT-Lösungen entwickeln oder betreiben – insbesondere im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau, aber auch darüber hinaus.-----Relevante Folgenlinks:Madeleine (https://www.linkedin.com/in/madeleine-mickeleit/)Michael (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-buchenberg/)CELOS X Plattform (https://de.dmgmori.com/produkte/digitalisierung/celos-x)Post-Quanten-Kryptographie (https://xitaso.com/projekte/amiquasy-migration-zu-post-quanten-kryptographie/)Penetration Tests von Fräsmaschinen (https://xitaso.com/projekte/dmg-mori-penetration-test/?utm_source=iot.website&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=iot.use.case)Jetzt IoT Use Case auf LinkedIn folgen

The newer technologies seem to have a claim of being easier without requiring the complexity of database programming. The reality is that newer technologies have a place, and they are suitable for those use cases. But that doesn't make database programming nay inferior. They are both a place depending upon the need for transactional integrity. The OT and industrial space is especially unique with various types of datasets. So, how is the state of industrial data as of today?In today's episode, our guest, Mike Bowers, discusses the state of data of industrial systems. He also discusses the evolution and differences of various technologies such as JSON and XML, SQL vs NoSQL databases, and MQTT vs traditional protocols. Finally, he shares the importance of data and that manufacturers need to adopt newer methods of collecting data from edge devices to drive real business value.

Home Automation, The Internet of things. This is the first episode in a new series called Home Automation. The series is open to anyone and I encourage everyone to contribute. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_automation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Home automation or domotics is building automation for a home. A home automation system will monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems. The phrase smart home refers to home automation devices that have internet access. Home automation, a broader category, includes any device that can be monitored or controlled via wireless radio signals, not just those having internet access. When connected with the Internet, home sensors and activation devices are an important constituent of the Internet of Things ("IoT"). A home automation system typically connects controlled devices to a central smart home hub (sometimes called a "gateway"). The user interface for control of the system uses either wall-mounted terminals, tablet or desktop computers, a mobile phone application, or a Web interface that may also be accessible off-site through the Internet. Now is the time I tried this out a few years ago, but after a lot of frustration with configuration of esp32 arduinos, and raspberry pi's I left it be. Recently inspired by colleagues in work, I decided to get back into it and my initial tests show that the scene has much improved over the years. Youtube Playlist The Hook Up, RSS Home Automation Guy, RSS Everything Smart Home, RSS Smart Solutions for Home, RSS Smart Home Circle, RSS Smart Home Junkie, RSS Home Assistant The first thing we'll need is something to control it all. Something will allow us to control our homes without requiring the cloud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Assistant From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Home Assistant is free and open-source software for home automation, designed to be an Internet of things (IoT) ecosystem-independent integration platform and central control system for smart home devices, with a focus on local control and privacy. It can be accessed through a web-based user interface, by using companion apps for Android and iOS, or by voice commands via a supported virtual assistant, such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, and their own "Assist" (built-in local voice assistant). The Home Assistant software application is installed as a computer appliance. After installation, it will act as a central control system for home automation (commonly called a smart home hub), that has the purpose of controlling IoT connectivity technology devices, software, applications and services from third-parties via modular integration components, including native integration components for common wireless communication protocols such as Bluetooth, Thread, Zigbee, and Z-Wave (used to create local personal area networks with small low-power digital radios). Home Assistant as such supports controlling devices and services connected via either open and proprietary ecosystems as long they provide public access via some kind of Open API or MQTT for third-party integrations over the local area network or the Internet. Information from all devices and their attributes (entities) that the application sees can be used and controlled from within scripts trigger automation using scheduling and "blueprint" subroutines, e.g. for controlling lighting, climate, entertainment systems and home appliances. Summary Original author(s): Paulus Schoutsen Developer(s): Home Assistant Core Team and Community Initial release: 17 September 2013 Repository: https://github.com/home-assistant Written in: Python (Python 3.11) Operating system: Software appliance / Virtual appliance (Linux) Platform: ARM, ARM64, IA-32 (x86), and x64 (x86-64) Type: Home automation, smart home technology, Internet of things, task automator License: Apache License (free and open-source) Website: https://www.home-assistant.io The following is taken from the Concepts and terminology on the Home Assistant website. It is reproduced here under the creative commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License Integrations Integrations are pieces of software that allow Home Assistant to connect to other software and platforms. For example, a product by Philips called Hue would use the Philips Hue term integration and allow Home Assistant to talk to the hardware controller Hue Bridge. Any Home Assistant compatible term devices connected to the Hue Bridge would appear in Home Assistant as devices. For a full list of compatible term integrations, refer to the integrations documentation. Once an term integration has been added, the hardware and/or data are represented in Home Assistant as devices and entities. Entities Entities are the basic building blocks to hold data in Home Assistant. An term entity represents a term sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other term entities. An term entity is usually part of a term device or a term service. Entities have term states. Devices Devices are a logical grouping for one or more term entities. A term device may represent a physical term device, which can have one or more sensors. The sensors appear as entities associated with the term device. For example, a motion sensor is represented as a term device. It may provide motion detection, temperature, and light levels as term entities. Entities have states such as detected when motion is detected and clear when there is no motion. Devices and entities are used throughout Home Assistant. To name a few examples: Dashboards can show a state of an term entity. For example, if a light is on or off. An automation can be triggered from a state change on an term entity. For example, a motion sensor entity detects motion and triggers a light to turn on. A predefined color and brightness setting for a light saved as a scene. Areas An area in Home Assistant is a logical grouping of term devices and term entities that are meant to match areas (or rooms) in the physical world: your home. For example, the living room area groups devices and entities in your living room. Areas allow you to target service calls at an entire group of devices. For example, turning off all the lights in the living room. Locations within your home such as living room, dance floor, etc. Areas can be assigned to term floors. Areas can also be used for automatically generated cards, such as the Area card. Automations A set of repeatable term actions that can be set up to run automatically. Automations are made of three key components: Triggers - events that start an term automation. For example, when the sun sets or a motion sensor is activated. Conditions - optional tests that must be met before an term action can be run. For example, if someone is home. Actions - interact with term devices such as turn on a light. To learn the basics about term automations, refer to the automation basics page or try creating an automation yourself. Scripts Similar to term automations, scripts are repeatable term actions that can be run. The difference between term scripts and term automations is that term scripts do not have triggers. This means that term scripts cannot automatically run unless they are used in an term automations. Scripts are particularly useful if you perform the same term actions in different term automations or trigger them from a dashboard. For information on how to create term scripts, refer to the scripts documentation. Scenes Scenes allow you to create predefined settings for your term devices. Similar to a driving mode on phones, or driver profiles in cars, it can change an environment to suit you. For example, your watching films term scene may dim the lighting, switch on the TV and increase its volume. This can be saved as a term scene and used without having to set individual term devices every time. To learn how to use term scenes, refer to the scene documentation. Add-ons Depending on your installation type, you can install third party add-ons. Add-ons are usually apps that can be run with Home Assistant but provide a quick and easy way to install, configure, and run within Home Assistant. Add-ons provide additional functionality whereas term integrations connect Home Assistant to other apps.

Roger Light lives in the midlands of the UK. He has his PhD in Electrical Engineering, and post graduating, he did research, then taught. But in parallel, he worked on hobby projects that eventually led him to a new venture. Outside of tech, he is married with 4 young boys and a dog - so he mentioned things get a little loud and crazy at home. He loves spicy food, but has been enjoying the visit to the local carvery lately.In 2009, Roger attended a conference on iOT, MQTT, and how it was being used to track electricity monitoring. What he realized was that an open source version of management software didn't exist. He happened to be looking for a project at the time, and thought "this should only take a couple of months".This is the creation story of Cedalo.SponsorsCacheFlyClearQueryLinkshttps://cedalo.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-light-aba81919/ Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Our guest this week is Microsoft's Erich Barnstedt (https://www.linkedin.com/in/erich-barnstedt-9a84685), Chief Architect Standards, Consortia & Industrial IoT, Azure Edge + Platform. Erich brings his perspective as we try to get to the bottom of why–despite overtures from some of the biggest vendors in the space–we still have not achieved true data interoperability in the manufacturing industry. We explore what really goes on behind the curtain at standards committees, and why it is so important for vendors to embrace an open technology ecosystem that puts interoperability at the forefront.
