Just wrote a #powershell script to send #matter #iot (#ipv6) commands to a Python Matter Server, trying to test if the Binding (0x001E) function on my #Zemismart in-line switch works, it didn't :-( https://github.com/sgryphon/iot-demo-build/blob/main/matter-thread/README-matter-thread.md

Using an #ipv6 only mobile #iot network and want to connect to #azure #iothub? Not a problem if you have a carrier like #telstra (Australia) that supports #nat64, as in my recent blog article using the #nordic #thingy91 https://purple.telstra.com/blog/device-authentication-with-nordic-thingy-91-and-azure-iot-hub

My #IoT article on the #M5Stack Atom #NBIoT device (via #Telstra), using secure #MQTT over #IPv6 is now up. If you are interested in a bit of #ESP32 programming using #PlatformIO then check it out: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/m5stack-atom-nb-iot-device-with-secure-mqtt-over-ipv6

#Dragino N95S32B #nb-iot review, with all the good (and not-so-good) features of this deployment-ready weather-resistant #iot device for NB-IoT LPWAN networks (such as #Telstra) https://purple.telstra.com/blog/nb-iot-device-review---unboxing-the-dragino-n95s31b

I just published a new #IoT blog article on #PowerShell scripted deployment of a secure #MQTT server to #azure with #IPv6 support, using #Certbot certificates, on the #TelstraPurple blog: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/deploying-a-secure-mqtt-test-server-on-azure-with-ipv6

I've finished off my blog post series on #OpenTelemetry with #dotnet, on the #TelstraPurple blog, and how OTel is now built into the core of .NET. It includes a brief nod to Azure #iot Hub now having built in support for Trace Context.

Here is part 2 - https://purple.telstra.com/blog/instrumenting--net-with-opentelemetry

The full code is also up on Github: https://github.com/sgryphon/dotnet-distributed-tracing-examples

Yay! I passed the renewal for my #Azure #IoT Speciality. The content was mostly about the new #DigitalTwins features, which is the area I work in at #TelstraPurple, so it was not too hard (provided you know the material :-)

Haroon, a colleague at #TelstraPurple has recently write a short blog piece on the convergence of the physical and digital worlds, through #iot and #digitaltwins - in other words, the metaverse: https://purple.telstra.com/blog/convergence-of-the-physical-and-digital-worlds

Nice. Espressif now have a dual-band (5GHz) Wi-Fi 6 system, although not sure what you would do with all that speed on an #iot device. https://www.espressif.com/en/news/ESP32-C5

One thing I do at #TelstraPurple for customers is #DevSecOps. I have written about infrastructure-as-code, comparing Azure CLI vs PowerShell vs ARM vs Bicep https://sgryphon.gamertheory.net/2021/12/10/azure-cli-vs-powershell-vs-arm-vs-bicep/ for #IoT resource deployment.

Ever wanted to connect your tabletop RPG #ttrpg dice to the Internet of Things #iot? The Pixels dice project is trying to do just that https://gamewithpixels.com/ -- and it is #opensource

#IoT Edge solution for water level monitoring: rather than sensors that can be swept away by floods, smart IoT cameras can see the water level in this #Telstra case study https://www.telstra.com.au/business-enterprise/news-research/case-studies/contactless-water-flow-monitoring

Still enjoying developer life at #TelstraPurple (12 years! this week), I've just moved to the #IoT Portfolio. Will be posting about some of the great things they are involved with, like https://airspeeder.com/

Pixels dice - a kickstarter that combines both #ttrpg and #iot - count me in! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pixels-dice/pixels-the-electronic-dice
