24.01.2022 Catching up on #IocTober here is day 7, a bathroom occupancy monitor. Have you ever hopped up and down outside a dunny door wondering if there was anyone in there? What if you knock and it's the boss? Or perhaps you walked the length of the building to discover that there's a queue. Maybe there's a free stall on the next floor? Let our bathroom buddy help you out...... https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-7/

21.01.2022 We are enjoying the #SomethingDigital event The ethics of robot servants at QUT. Though the detail of the all-human panel disturbs us slightly. The only robot present is sweeping the floor.

21.01.2022 #IocTober day 4 brings a device for transmitting temperature readings to your phone. Readings from what? Anything you need. The BBQ smoker, your solar panels, refrigerator, pool etc. The promise of #IoT is extending your vision and reach to where you desire. https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-4/

20.01.2022 TONIGHT! Come to the Brisbane Internet of Things Interest Group. There 20 or so seats left for tonight's IoT meetup at Avestix Labs, 143 Wickham St. We are back in the city with convenient parking right next door at chinatown mall parking station, and train and bus stops are directly adjacent. Tonight we focus on the power of YOU. We will tell some stories about people who had a problem, and an idea, and made a solution happen. It's not as frightening as you think, and ther...e is a whole community to help you on your way. We also present a hands-on walkthrough of Mozilla IoT - a non-creepy alternative to Those Other Voice Assistants that keeps your data private, not for sale to everyone. Please RSVP at the meetup page, and by all means bring a friend. https://www.meetup.com/Brisbane-Internet-of-Things-IOT-M//

17.01.2022 IocTober Day 2 - Safety lighting for your home or workpalace https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-2/

17.01.2022 Tomorrow, (I just found out, since my daughter "volunteered" me without checking first), I am teaching a group of a dozen or so girl guides to sew multicoloured illuminated brooches to go with the tie-dyed shirts they made last week. Now, perhaps you don't see a need for illuminated brooches at your workplace, but an Internet of Things workshop is a great way to introduce your team to the potential of IoT. We pick a theme (sensors, monitoring, visualisation, you name it) an...d spend a day learning to solve problems with technology. Or for more advanced teams perhaps a weekend "hackathon" where groups compete to find a novel way to make your workplace and business better. For example I know of one company in Sydney who ended up with a system to help cycle commuters find the nearest free shower in their multi-storey building. We can hold events at our air-conditioned Lab in Sumner, or we can come to you.

17.01.2022 On #IocTober 6 we bring you a project for air quality monitoring. Concerned about dust, stuffy air or organic compounds, this device will show you the levels on an OLED screen or via your phone. https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-6/

16.01.2022 TONIGHT (Mon 24th) at Brisbane Internet of Things Meetup: Everything you never wanted to know about Bluetooth Part 2 of The Internet of Cars (retrofitting smarts to an older car)...

15.01.2022 Were creating an #IoT solution for every day of #IocTober. This project is about synergy. If you have a Google Home, Chromecast, or Amazon Echo, add a wireless motion sensor and have your home or office announce visitors. https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-13/

15.01.2022 In May the Brisbane Internet of Things Meetup is holding a special event as a Saturday afternoon workshop. We'll build an internet connected garden soil monitor from simple plug-together modules, then go through the process of how one would design an all in one circuit board for an IoT project. We'll culminate with a tour of a working electronics factory showing how designs become reality. Reservations for this event close April 13, so please book your place here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/iotbne-workshop-the-internet-o

14.01.2022 Here's #IocTober project 11 - A battery powered wireless camera you can observe from your phone. It also detects motion, so alerts you to people in your reception, driveway, yard, loading dock, or wherever. Be that spouse who always greets their returning partner with a glass of wine because you spotted them arrive in the driveway thanks to your #IoT super-senses :) https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-11/

13.01.2022 One week to go until the next Brisbane Internet of Things (#IoTBNE) event.

04.01.2022 IocTober Day 1 - "Put the Kettle on, Alexa". Here's a device which lets you put the kettle on while still in bed. We're creating a life-changing Internet of Things product each day of October. We'll solve some serious problems, and a few silly ones. What's your Tech Nirvana wish?... https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-1/

04.01.2022 Here is an #IocTober design for sending one-bit messages to your spouse (or to whomever has the other half of this button-encrusted cylinder). Remember the milk. I'll be home late. Call me. Something a little more personal. https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-10/

03.01.2022 Number nine in our series of #IocTober projects is this #IoT Honeypot Alarm. If a hacker compromises your network, the next step is always to scan the network looking for easy targets. This device presents itself as an easy target, listening on commonly attacked services. If an attack or scan happens, the device lights up red (and sends an alert). https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-9/

Come to Sunday (mad) Science, bring a problem, find an answer.... Families and kids welcome (games room if they tune out). This Sunday 8th Sept 1-4pm at Sumner Park. https://www.meetup.com/Brisbane-Internet-of-Things-IOT-M//

02.01.2022 Here is #IocTober day 8 - a drink-your-tea reminder. This device attaches to your cup, and if you do not lift your cup often enough, it chirps at you. Shuts off when removed from cup. https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-8/

01.01.2022 Yesterday's #Iot Brisbane event "Sunday (mad) Science" was great fun for all. Jash and Rrodolfo made a voice assistant. Yazmin and Sergey noodled with LoRaWAN. Ivan and Peter made a bathroom occupancy monitor, and Jordan learned how to solder. Hannah and I explored IoT in finance and ePaper. George made a Raspberry Pi Router for his home network, and explored the inner workings of a salvaged mains distribution frame. ... Plus Yaz brought cookies :) Some people brought their own projects, others were stumped for ideas, so I suggested some projects from our #IocTober series.

01.01.2022 IocTober rolls on with Day 3 - behaviour modification for cats and other menaces. My wife asked me to create this product to keep our young cat from destroying our greenhouse in search of the perfect, ahem, dumping ground. https://accelerando.com.au/news/2019/10/ioctober-day-3/

01.01.2022 Today (Sun 8th Dec) is the final Sunday (mad) Science for the year.
