Building IoT Solutions
Using Core CMS Features

The Intro
A brief history of me, my approach to
software, and my IoT journey thus far

The Question
How can Content Management Systems
support IoT efforts?

The Utility Model
CONSUME
TRANSMIT AGGREGATE DISTRIBUTE CONSUMECOLLECT

Primary IoT Use Cases
Condition
Monitoring
Remote
Control

The CMS Opportunity in IoT
Data Definition
Managed User Access
APIs

The Experiment
Implement a CMS with minimal customization
as an IoT solution

What is MINIMAL?
Core Workflows and Configs
Plugins
Third-Party Services
Light Custom Code
