Things in the PWA Era!

By Majid Hajian

Elevator Pitch

In daily basis where billions of billion devices are connected to the internet, browsers can actually take control Things via web standard APIs such as WebBluetooth, WebUSB, WebNFC, Shape Detection API and etc. How about connecting to IoT gateway which supports Wifi via BLE by just visiting a PWA!

Description

In daily basis where billions of billion devices are connected to the internet, browsers can actually take control Things like lightbulbs, robots, printers, NFC tags, toys, drones, and many more Things via web standard APIs such as WebBluetooth, WebUSB, WebNFC, Shape Detection API and etc. How about connecting to IoT gateway which supports Wifi via BLE ?!

On the other hand, Progressive web apps open a new era to build web apps that work offline and resemble native apps. PWAs are installable too, therefore, your solution to controlling Things in the real world can be written once for web and reuse everywhere.

In this session, I am going through some of the web capabilities to connect devices into a progressive web app and demonstrate how the web, eventually, could go beyond the browsers. There will be lots of demos such as Connect to IoT gateway via BLE over Wifi, Drone controller, NFC reader, Android ADB connector to Web and more.
