Home Automation with Netduino, Azure and Windows Phone 7

Presenter Mike Linnen will show you how to satisfy your inner geek need to connect devices in your home to other devices or services outside your home. We will take a look at connecting a Lawn Sprinkler device to a phone and a weather service without poking any holes in your firewall. This sprinkler is smart enough to conserve water when there is rain in the forecast. This will be a fully functional demo (without water) and we will be looking at some of the challenges around connecting devices and services.

We will be covering:
· Netduino Overview
· Developing Netduino applications that are testable
· Hardware design and tips
· Azure Service Bus to connect devices and services
· Windows Phone 7 as a Remote Control

You will walk away from this presentation knowing just how easy it is for a .NET developer to get started in Home Automation and build something that makes your home the talk of the block.

Food and drinks will be provided.
