Do you like to play with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, various sensors, and devices? Would you like to see their data on the web and on the phone and control the devices remotely?

This talk will delve into various choices for obtaining data from home and garden through sensors. The data can be channeled through Raspberry Pi to Azure. Azure stores the data and hosts the Web site and Web APIs.

The talk will cover the overall architecture for building a smart home project, the security aspects with demos of the existing hardware and software. If you are/willing to be a hacker and a software developer, this talk is for you.
