#InternetOfThings

Actually useful #InternetOfThings event shocker!

I went into the office this morning for the first time in months. I picked a hotdesk and then went to my locker and retrieved my keyboard and trackpad, went back to my desk and got on with my day.

In practice this meant starting late (because of going into the office) and therefore joining a call late, so I didn't even open Outlook until after the call finished.

When I did open Outlook I found an email from my locker, telling me it had been left open.

Useful! 😀

Next up a smart UPS controller which interfaces with the buttons on things that you want running during a power cut but that don't need to be *always* running, in order to boost battery runtime.

Then a 3D-printed device designed to detect leaks in an LPG system and automatically turn the regulator off... using, granted, a metal-geared servo, so intrinsic safety probably wasn't at the forefront of its design, here.

I thought I was done with work for the day, but a late (for my timezone, anyway) bit of breaking news means a last article for the day: Particle, which was founded after Zach Supalla experimented with making a smart lightbulb with a Digi XBee dev board and managed to only electrocute himself part-way to death, has been acquired... by Digi.
