Connecting your coffee table to WiFi

Connecting your coffee table to WiFi
by Simonas Narbutas

For the last couple of years we’ve been hearing a lot about IoTs, home automation, Alexa this, Alexa that, but not many people actually looked into the subject; And it is a pity, because there are loads of things you can tinker about to make your IKEA things great again.

In this talk I would like to bring up one of my recent home projects. That is - a €20 IKEA coffee table. How I added infinity mirror to it, connected to WiFi, and made it subscribe to a message broker and from my phone published colors/patterns to it. I will briefly go over the parts needed and challenges I came across (or rather how little challenges I had in getting it done). My talk will be based on this example, however it's not limited to it.

Bol.com IT community is filled with creative and passionate people. The aim of the talk is to inspire thinkalikes and perhaps even create a community that could share not only ideas but also help each other whether it’s electronic parts or coding knowledge.
