Paul Barker – Open Source IoT with ThingsBoard & SanTrack:

This talk will introduce the ThingsBoard Open-source IoT platform and SanCloud’s SanTrack IoT Platform. Using these technologies you can take full control over your IoT data and control plane, running the server software on-site or in the cloud, with self-hosting or managed hosting. 

This flexibility empowers device owners, allows for improved data privacy and prevents lock-in.

Paul will discuss the features provided by this software, including:

  • Telemetry collection, visualization, analysis and alerting
  • Device management
  • Multiple tiers of access management and security
  • Data processing using Rule Chains
  • Multiple protocol support
  • Edge computing using the IoT Gateway
  • Remote attestation and improved security using Micron Authenta technology

Paul will also provide a demo using the SanCloud BeagleBone Enhanced (BBE) hardware platform and a small Python application to collect sensor data and submit it to SanTrack for analysis.
