h1. Software Links

* "Alexa Voice Service":https://developer.amazon.com/appsandservices/solutions/alexa/alexa-voice-service from Amazon

* "Awesome IoT":https://github.com/phodal/awesome-iot - links to lots of other stuff

h2. AI

* "Tensor Flow":https://www.tensorflow.org/ is an open source deep learning tool that might be useful for automated monitoring systems.

* "Theono":http://deeplearning.net/software/theano/ is also for deep learning, but is math oriented more than task oriented.  It's easier to get started with Tensor Flow.

h2. Protocols

* "Advanced Message Queuing Protocol":https://www.amqp.org/ (AMQP)

* "Constrained Application Protocol":http://coap.technology/ (CoAP) - see microcoap for Arduino

* "Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol":http://xmpp.org/about-xmpp/history/ (XMPP)

* "OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport":https://www.oasis-open.org/news/pr/oasis-members-to-advance-mqtt-standard-for-m2m-iot-reliable-messaging (MQTT)

* "Very Simple Control Protocol":http://www.vscp.org/ (VSCP)

* "OpenWSN":https://openwsn.atlassian.net/wiki/ - repository for open-source implementations of protocol stacks based on Internet of Things standards, using a variety of hardware and software platforms.

h2. OS

* "ARM mbed":http://mbed.org/

* "Contiki":http://www.contiki-os.org/

* "Spark":http://spark.github.io/

* "RIOT":https://openwsn.atlassian.net/wiki/ - alternative to Arduino with CoAP included

h2. Networking

* "WiFi AP + client":http://imti.co/post/145442415333/raspberry-pi-3-wifi-station-ap describes how to setup a wifi dongle as both an AP and a client, routing between the two.  We don't need to route from the sensors to the internet, however.

h2. APIs

* "Qeo Tinq":https://github.com/brunodebus/tinq-core

* "Twitter":https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public

** "CURL":https://alvinabad.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/send-twitter-message-from-unix/ - may not work exactly like this with new API

** "tweet.sh":https://github.com/piroor/tweet.sh

* SMS

h2. Arduino

* "Deep Sleep Mode":http://www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=esp8266_power_usage#sleeping_the_esp8266

** "Door Alarm w/ deep sleep mode":https://github.com/chaeplin/esp8266_and_arduino/blob/master/_48-door-alarm-deepsleep/_48-door-alarm-deepsleep.ino - This allows using both a software timeout and an alarm interrupt to wake from deep sleep.  Design is similar to this "PIR-based implementation":https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1488 ("diagram only":https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/25507805/25678678/de4659a0-304a-11e7-90d4-a5c19241e7f6.png)

h2. Software updates

Three parts to a software update: bootloader, kernel and rootfs/apps.

# This adds u-boot as 3rd stage bootloader to Pi. First stage (in hardware) doesn't change and 2nd stage (binary blobs) only change with new SD cards.

# u-boot is used to swap between kernels and partitions, test sanity of new images.

# kernel fallback capability is required

# rootfs/apps fallback capability is required
