I’m thinking of developing a smart home framework in Meteor, and I’m wondering if anyone here knows of any smart home/IoT projects in Meteor or using MongoDB.
A house would have its own MongoDB (either local or remote) with lots of sensors, IoT devices, and apps connected to it.
Each sensor wouldn’t necessarily have to run Meteor (it would just have to be able to write to MongoDB somehow). Connected IoT devices (a lamp, a device to feed the cat, etc.) would be controlled through apps interacting with the database. Users would be able to add apps developed by the community or create their own, and Meteor would make the applications easy to create and reactive by nature.
The framework would be developed over 6 months as part of an open project at my school École 42.
Meteor would simply be the supported framework used to create apps (including the admin app). Technically any application that can connect to Mongo would be able to be used.
What other development framework would you suggest?
I’m not a programmer at a level where I’d know whether Meteor is good for this or not but I, learning Meteor and how simple it is for novices, would love to see a project like this that will/might have packages for Meteor apps to talk to devices! Are you aware of AllJoyn? I think their aim to to create a common infrastructure for IoT devices from different manufacturers to work seamlessly under ‘one roof.’
All the best and looking forward to seeing how this develops.
