Challenging the Internet of Things
summary
A working end-to-end IoT loop ties a Raspberry Pi camera and Node.js image-diff to CamFind object recognition, posts a detected “zombie” to Salesforce via REST, creates a case, then uses Salesforce Streaming API to push events that trigger a USB missile launcher and change LIFX bulbs; Alexa voice skills update case status via REST. Demo shows real tools and failure modes: flaky Pi USB hubs, a dead SD card, and non‑deterministic CamFind results, so the system mostly works but needs robustness.
