In this article, we will explain the subject of ioT. What is ioT? After answering the question, we will share ioT projects that you can do. These projects will be open source.
What is ioT?
Nowadays, many devices produce information and share this information with other devices. As a result of this sharing, many different applications can be made. Systems that connect devices to each other or to people are called ioT systems. That is the Internet of Things. In the world of the Internet of Things, every device has an identification number. This ID is called the “unique ID”, or “UID” for short. Devices use this identification number when communicating with each other and with people.
Today, many companies use ioT applications to work more efficiently.
Where is the Internet of Things used?
Today, the most used areas of the Internet of Things are:
- Construction applications
- Logistics applications
- Smart city applications
- Manufacturing applications
- IT industry applications
- Health apps
- Trading apps

Some Open Source ioT Projects
SmartGarden 3 – DIY Bluetooth Sensors and Hydroponics!
You can monitor and control your garden remotely. Would you like to make a Hydroponics Garden? SmartGarden3 is a successful kickstarter project. You can measure the humidity of your plant continuously and measure the data as a mobile phone message. If there is a problem in your garden, you can make the alarm sound.
2- OpenHAB: Make a smarter home
One of the platforms used in smart home construction is OpenHAB. OpenHUB is an open source platform. You can use it locally as well as over the cloud. OpenHUB can be used with over 1000 devices. It can also be used with Google Assistant, Mazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit.
3- ioT with Smartphones
This time I will not share just one project. There are many ioT projects you can do using your old smartphone. Cumulocity ioT solution is used in the projects. Moreover, it is completely free. Many projects that can be done by both amateurs and professionals are in one package.
4. Air Monitoring System
EnviroMonitor is a community and Open Source project to help monitor air quality around the world. We measure PM2.5 and PM10 as well as temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. Data is collected at global site and can be sent to WeatherUnderground.
5. IoT Based Smart Parking System
This time we will share an article about smart parking systems. This is an open source solution for smart parking.
