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
** "SMS via Email gateways per carrier":http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/system-status-sms-text-messages
h2. Home Automation
* "PrivateEyePi":http://projects.privateeyepi.com/ - General home automation using Raspberry Pi
* "RaZberry":http://razberry.z-wave.me/ - Using Raspberry Pi with Z-Wave devices
* "OpenHAB":http://www.openhab.org/
* "Home Assistant":https://home-assistant.io/
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. Security
* "Securing Embedded Linux":https://www.linux.com/news/securing-embedded-linux
* "AES for embedded":https://github.com/spaniakos/AES/ (Arduino or Raspberry Pi)
** "Symmetric AES using IVs (initial vectors)":https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=88890.msg1726730#msg1726730
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
* "Building Murphy-compatible embedded Linux systems":https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2005/ols2005v1-pages-21-36.pdf
* "Implementing update system for embedded Linux":https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6937592/implementing-an-update-upgrade-system-for-embedded-linux-devices discussion on stackoverflow
* "On the field software updates":http://wiki.dave.eu/index.php/Deploying_Embedded_Linux_Systems#On-the-field_software_upgrades in Deploying Embedded Linux Systems
* "Updating Firmware in Linux Based Devices":http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/updating-firmware-linux-based-devices in Linux Journal, discusses use of A/B partitions and pointing boot loader at current release.
