Learning objectives
You’ll use the Watson IoT Platform to build simple applications in Node-RED, IBM Bluemix, and Xcode, connect to IoT devices, connect to a Cloudant database, and configure your application to send notifications to a Twitter account.
After you complete this course, you will be able to:
- Connect a Raspberry Pi to a Node-RED application to read the temperature from the device
- Deploy the Node-RED application on IBM Bluemix
- Add social service notifications and a Cloudant database to your Node-RED flows
- Create a simple UI in Swift and Xcode to show temperature data
- Add a RaspCam camera (optional) to the Raspberry Pi and then send pictures to the Cloudant database on Bluemix for storage and analysis
- Use the Watson Visual Recognition service to analyze your pictures
- Create a voice user interface to invoke commands on the Raspberry Pi
- Add more Watson services: Speech to Text, Text to Speech, and Weather Company Data
- Optional: configure communication between an iRobot and the Raspberry Pi
