In this post, we’ll explore how to activate or deactivate a surveillance camera via a Cisco router using Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality. I’ve implemented a DIY surveillance installation at home using a PoE camera connected to a Cisco Small Business router. Specifically, I’m using the Cisco Smart Switch SG250-10P, which offers robust PoE capabilities that allow you to control power delivery to connected devices. This approach is particularly useful for security purposes, as it allows you to remotely control when your surveillance camera is active without physically accessing the device. ...

This month I went to Greece for a customer of mine. I worked at Athens on Camel integration with Mainframe legacy systems. The customer wanted to use XML message format throughout the entire Camel route process. Their primary goal was to reuse some Camel routes as new service components, allowing for greater flexibility and modularity in their integration architecture. Fortunately, the Camel framework meets all of these requirements out of the box. In this article, we’ll explore a simple example demonstrating how to implement this approach effectively. ...

This September, RaspberryPi foundation has sold ten (10) Millions of unit. This small computer is amazing, you can setup very quickly several cool IoT projects.

Today, I am going to talk about some exciting news in the IoT development world. This is a technical post, but without any code samples or hardware setup instructions (thankfully). The Eclipse Kura Project has accepted a GitHub Pull Request that introduces a powerful new component to the develop branch. This new component is the Camel Framework from the Apache Foundation. Henryk Konsek, a talented colleague of mine, is the principal developer behind this integration. The relationship between Camel and Kura actually began earlier with the first Camel Kura component, which has been available since Camel version 2.15, also developed by Henryk. ...

Today, we’re going to implement a quick tool available on the RaspberryPi using Java Device IO API. The i2cdetect utility is a simple I²C device scanner for your RaspberryPi that browses all I²C addresses to find which I²C devices are connected to your board. This tutorial demonstrates how to recompile the Device IO API and implement the i2cdetect functionality in Java, providing a platform-independent way to interact with I²C devices. i2cdetect with the Java Device I/O API implementation - a powerful tool for hardware detection and diagnostics on embedded systems. ...

Recently, a colleague of mine asked me to implement a small demonstration project. I decided to develop a new component for the Rhiot project. This component is the DeviceIO I2C Camel component, which builds upon my previous work on Camel-pi4j that I had already developed for the Rhiot project. In this article, we’ll explore how to use this component within the Kura Platform via the Camel Framework. For this demonstration, we’ll need some hardware devices, specifically a RaspberryPi and an ActiveMQ broker. ...

During this cool Christmas day, Santa Claus brings us lot of presents (I hope for you too), I received 2 RaspberryPi Zero, Thx you brother ;-). I will show you a cool stuff after this special day. We gonna test how to use Rhiot project into Kura Eclipse Platform running inside Docker container deployed into a real RaspberryPi Zero device (in this order). If you don’t have yet a RaspberryPi (B+, 2 or zero) device you can use my previous post. ...

Rhiot project has recently decided to primarily support the Kura Eclipse Platform. Our project provides code and extensions for Kura, such as Camel integration and many other features. We’ve developed new Camel components specifically dedicated to the Kura Platform (gpio, cloud, wifi). We chose this platform because it’s an OSGi compliant software focused on the IoT universe, supported by the Eclipse Foundation and Eurotech. While Kura runs natively on RaspberryPi hardware, if you don’t have a RaspberryPi device yet, this tutorial will show you how to run Kura within a Docker container. ...

For a while, I have been developing during my free time for the Rhiot project with my Red Hat colleague Henryk. We started by developing several Camel components such as kura, pi4j, and bluetooth with other volunteers. Now we are focusing on developing and integrating these components for the Kura Platform. Kura is an OSGi Platform designed specifically for IoT, capable of running on RaspberryPi, BeagleBone, or Intel Edison devices. The Kura Platform comes with many embedded services tailored for IoT contexts, including GPIO, USB, I2C, Cloud Service, and more. In this post, we will explore: ...

Recently, I bought the new official Sense-HAT from RaspberryPi foundation. This HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) add-on for the RaspberryPi device includes lots of cool features and sensors. The Sense-HAT comes with an 8x8 RGB565 pixel display, a Joystick, a Gyroscope, Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Temperature, Barometric pressure and Humidity sensors. All sensors are i2c compliant, making them easily accessible with the rhiot camel-pi4j component. This makes it very straightforward to retrieve data from all sensors and transmit them to external systems. The Rhiot team has also developed the first implementation of the rhiot camel-framebuffer component, which now enables pushing images directly to the 8x8 pixel screen. Note that the matrix consists of 8x8 RGB565 LEDs (2 bytes per pixel), providing a colorful display despite its small size. ...

One of the reasons I love MacOS is that it includes bash, ssh, and many other powerful Linux/Unix commands right out of the box. ...

Few years ago, my friends and I started a game we called the UNESCO challenge/Point UNESCO (fr). The goal of this game is very simple, we try to visit every World Heritage Site (WHS), one visit == one UNESCO point. Sites could be a building, a city, a complex, a land, a monument, a mountain, etc., and they are selected by UNESCO as being of special cultural or physical significance. We have to take the picture of signboard by UNESCO as a proof of our visit. We have got one more rule: Every place or site you have already visited which become a WHS, you also earn a point. ...

Last week, Wildfly community has just released Wildfly 9.0.0.Final and I wrote a post about enabling HTTP2 into Wildlfy via the offline command line. Today, we will see how to do it with a Docker container. Docker container simplifies lot of thing when we need to deploy middleware infrastructure. I love this technology, because it is an Open Source project, it provides lot of command line tools, the build process is automated and streamlined, and the run process is very easy to manage. ...

Yesterday, Wildfly community has just released Wildfly 9.0.0.Final, the last Application Server version. As I talked on my previous French post about Wildfly they are a lot of new cool stuffs. I noticed two of them we could use both together quickly. Into a datacenter, we want setup the first configuration without startup full process and open unnecessary port. I propose in this post to setup HTTP/2 with offline mode, it is quite useful because we could want to start a JBoss instance directly with HTTP/2 protocol enabled. ...

One month ago, Henryk, Claus and I started the Camel Labs project. This project provides exciting new components for the IoT community based on Apache Camel technology. These components connect electronic devices (I2C, SPI, GPIO, Tinkerforge) and cloud services (PubNub, Cloudlet, MQTT) together. In this lab, we will demonstrate how to build an end-to-end IoT integration with I2C devices, an MQTT broker, and an I2C LCD display using just a few lines of code. ...
