Connect your first ever TP link smart bulb to web and start developing Web of Things(WoT) !! Hi Guys, Today, let’s come out of LEDs, resistors, breadboards, connecting wires, blahbalahblah and just start playing with a real world smart thing….Wondered?? I have chosen an LB 100 Smart Bulb from TP link for our development today and it should work with most of the models of TP link smart bulbs. Let’s go and Connect our first ever TP link bulb to web and start developing Web of Things (WoT). In this blog, what you can learn ? What is Web of Things(WoT)? URL and WoT How Web protocols and HTTP methods works with this smart bulb A simple user interface to turn ON and OFF your light-bulb and control its brightness from Web URL Recommended Reading: It is recommended to read the led control using web technologies for deeper understanding of HTTP methods and other Web concepts https://avenkat-iot.blogspot.com/2018/06/led-control-using-web-technologieshtml.html Assump

Today Let's take the first step to rule the web world with things.... LED, the first thing ever in the world of IoT and controlling it is the "hello-world" in the world of electronics. .. In this blog, what you can learn ?  1.Connecting things(LED) to the web 2.Controlling things(LED) from the web 3.Use of Node js and Express js in ruling the web world. 4.Understanding some basic HTTP methods and how they can be used with things  Assumption Here I have assumed that you have installed node js,npm and express js and git in your raspberry pi. If you need more information on installation of node js and npm, pls follow this link  http://www.instructables.com/id/Install-Nodejs-and-Npm-on-Raspberry-Pi/ To install express just type npm install -g express to install express globally To install git type  sudo apt-get install git Requirements 1. An LED and 1K ohm resistor 2. Raspberry Pi 2,3 3.Bread board and Connecting wires Github Repositor
