DrupalCon New Orleans 2016: Beyond the Blink: Add Drupal to Your IoT Playground

This talk explores the integration of Drupal with Internet of Things (IoT) devices, highlighting interactive possibilities through projects by Will and Amber. Will, a developer managing an e-commerce website on Drupal, showcases a system that uses a Raspberry Pi and a tower light to provide real-time feedback on build statuses during testing. Amber, a Drupal 8 user, discusses her innovative wearable technology that gathers and displays weather data, connecting to her Drupal site using the ThingSpeak API. Attendees can expect to gain insights on creating IoT devices that interact with Drupal, setting up ThingSpeak channels to collect and analyze data, and configuring Drupal to accept and respond to HTTP requests.
