Ok Folks - The next Things Conference kicks of in Amsterdam next week:
This year, we are celebrating the power of collaboration between leading IoT technologies—and you are invited! https://www.thethingsconference.com/
Join 1,500+ top IoT professionals and 70+ industry leaders for two full days of expert insights, hands-on workshops, and real-world solutions. Explore the full Edge IoT technology stack—from Edge, IoT, LoRaWAN® and Cellular IoT to AI, energy harvesting, and single-board computers from Arduino Community, IoT Eclipse Foundation, Bluetooth SIG, Z-Wave Alliance, Zephyr Project, LoRa Alliance, Edge AI Foundation and The Things Network.
It’s always great to hear stories from the event - and better yet to see any good (especially embarassing! ) pictures from the event. As in previous years please feel free to post them here or use to flag meet-ups and community engagement!
We’ve had lots of presentations and not just of LoRa/LoRaWAN products, systems and related applications (some literally ‘out of this world’) but also Edge/AI
Obviously the best talk by @WaterschapValleiEnVe reducing uplinks and therefore power consumption by 75% using weather forecasting - a very real life usecase.
Thanks @stevencellist, but you really did a extremely useful contribution to the community with your RadioLib. I’m sure it will find its way to professionals and enthousiastic individuals!
Probably the most surprising find for me this year was InfluxDB. They came up with a new version 3 last year, and I was really looking forward to the Open Source version of it. Unfortunately however, it is restricted to a maximum of 72 hours data retention/retrieval.
So I came to their booth with a slightly disappointed mindset, but got very much surprised by them: their Enterprise version now has a “For home” license type which restricts you two 2 CPU cores but unlimited memory and data retention. You can’t use it for commercial deployment (would be insane anyway with 2 cores), but for home deployments or for me at school with a few tens of devices, it is perfect! Deploy on your own hardware / server and you can use all the greatness that InfluxDB 3 has to offer (including now finally native SQL - yay for the classroom!).
