Im going to be in an event about the future of the smart home/ home automation, and will be using smart things for some demonstrations so I need ideas of something easy and simple that I could show to the people and wake them do it, I was thinking about something like integrating with the twitter api and sending a tweet when a door open āor something like thatā it has to be short because I will be (falsely) ācoding it liveā , and if someone in smarrthings reads this and wants to send some free stickers, Iāll be happy to hand them out, there will be like 500-600 people there
The event will be on late November , early December, this is the website (it hasnāt been updated yet for this year) http://barcamp.org.do
, and THANK YOU doesnāt matter if the event is outside u.s?
Who is your audience? That would help decide the SmartApp that would deliver the most visual appeal. How long will your presentation last? Any other details could help as well.
The audience is 90% developers, the presentation will last 1 to 1:30 hours , if you have any app to suggest that be very appreciated I will be talking about how important is an open platform, so an integration with another service outside Smarrthings would be great, I was thinking something like opening a door when a hashtag in tweeter is detected lol or anything I can get the crowd to test themselves, anything works
The twitter idea would work, but have to go through IFTTT to work and that will introduce some lag. Voice control, with sharptools, tasker, on android is impressive and works well, iād go for that over twitterl. The most impressive smarthings app that would show off how important an open platform is iād have to say is smarttiles. If really want to blow the minds of your attendees, dress up a roomba as a Dalek and tell it to āExterminate!ā
