Summary


In this chapter, we learned how to use the IoT to monitor our homes remotely from anywhere in the world. We first learned how to log data in the cloud and visualize this data using two different IoT platforms. Then, at the end of the chapter, we learned how to visualize the live stream coming from a video camera from anywhere in the world.

There are of course many ways to improve the projects that we discussed in this chapter. You could, for example, create a web server that takes the live video streams from several video cameras and then use Ngrok to visualize all those live video streams at once. This will instantly give you a video security system, that you can use to monitor your home from anywhere in the world!

In the next chapter, we are going to continue diving into the Internet of Things, but this time to control devices inside your home.
