Internet of Things: Learning and practices. Application to smart home

Abstract

Internet of Things is becoming widely present in our daily life. In fact, more and more devices able to interact together have been recently designed and launched in the market. Learning Internet of Things technologies is becoming unavoidable in education. In this paper, we propose a practical approach allowing to progressively learn, by practice the, essential concepts of Internet of Things applied to Smart Homes. From basic knowledge of C++ language and the use of Arduino or its derived, students can develop skills and also smart applications in the field of Internet of Things.
