Bringing JavaScript to the IoT Edge
summary
Claims that JavaScript and Node.js already dominate IoT (about 58% of IoT devs), shows concrete tooling: Johnny-Five + Raspberry Pi for GPIO, load cells under a plywood scale, a magnetic door switch, and a spawned Python child process to read unsupported sensors. Data flows into MongoDB time-series documents with flexible schema. Result is an MVP smart kitty-litter box that logs cat weights and events reliably, demonstrates remote npm-based updates, and highlights performance, battery and footprint tradeoffs.
