In this chapter, our aim was to give you a feel of the internal workings of the networks and communication protocols using which Particle devices are deployed. New ways to connect various Particle devices and enable integration between them have been presented. We also described how to set up a P2P network using the VoodooSpark firmware and Cylon.js module, which will be used extensively for the projects in the upcoming chapters. We presented you with instructions to deploy a local server instance of Particle cloud, which can be used for near real-time communication between various devices by removing the need for moving the data to the Internet and back. Finally, we ended the chapter with an introduction to other popular protocols and architectures which are in place for IoT devices and deserve looking into.

Ajith Vasudevan is an electronics, computer, and IoT enthusiast who likes to apply his knowledge in these fields to make modern living easy for himself and others around him. He has a bachelor's of technology degree in electrical and electronics engineering. He was interested in automation and IoT even before the term IoT became commonplace. He designed and built an automatic overhead-tank motor operator using $1 worth of electronic parts back in 1995, which is operating at his parents home to this day. He has automated and made it simple and efficient to operate many household appliances, for example, an automatic geyser switch that turns itself off after 10 minutes, saving electricity. It can be set to switch on at any specified time or can be controlled from anywhere. Today, even his friends and neighbors use this system. Ajith has worked in the heavy electrical industry before joining his current employer, Infosys Technologies Limited, in the year 2000. He is presently a senior computer scientist at EdgeVerve Systems, a subsidiary of Infosys. At work, he enjoys programming and has done so for over a decade and a half.
