Deep into the IoT Trenches: How to Build a Connected Product
summary
Practical guidance for building Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth LE connected products (speakers, air purifiers, coffee machines) and reliable connectivity stacks like Philips Hue. Recommends local discovery first with cloud fallback, robust initial setup via WAC and Ethernet rather than fragile SSID-spraying, using NFC or sound only as fallbacks, and engineering practices: simulators, automated integration tests, pressure‑testing (~1,000 req/s), queuing stateful device updates, and measuring real-world reconnects to ensure usability and maintainability.
