Summary
In this chapter, you've been shown the basic principles of how to create a concentrator to embed functionality as nodes. You've learned the fundamental use cases for concentrators, the basic object model for a concentrator, and how to publish data sources and nodes in a concentrator. You've also learned the basic principles of managing nodes in a concentrator, how to register embedded nodes in a Thing Registry, and the basic principles of provisioning for embedded nodes in a concentrator. You've seen how to interact with nodes in a concentrator as if they were standalone devices on the network. In the next chapter, we will analyze how an Internet of Things Service Platform can help you with many of the repetitive tasks required to implement services for the Internet of Things.
