Summary

This chapter demonstrated how the IoT patterns introduced in previous chapters can be used to realize interesting use cases in the consumer domain, thereby demonstrating the efficacy of the patterns. This chapter offered a glimpse of the type of sensors and actuators that we need for our use case implementation. Additionally, this chapter looked at the type of architectural decisions we need to make (for example, the type of logic that must be executed at the edge or DG versus the logic that needs to be implemented or hosted in the central server).

The next chapter will continue our journey, where we will see the type of use cases that are relevant in the retail domain and how they can be implemented using the architectural patterns introduced in previous chapters.
