Unfortunately the S<strong>end me a mobile notification<\/strong> didn&#8217;t work at first glance, so I need to explore that, but the <strong>send an email<\/strong> worked fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll play with other triggers based on the button pushing action within Flow, as well as setting the code in the Arduino IDE to different settings eg  duration, flashing light and looking at tweaking code (and mogadoring it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I&#8217;d explore connecting to other items, such as what events you could trigger with pushing a button (or not- put a delay- eg Dead Man&#8217;s Switch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that got me excited in the talk was using python for some of the scripting, that used a <strong>ESP32 SoC<\/strong> with MicroPython. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This appeals to me for the python coding, and looking on the websites the chips are pretty cheap. I just need to got one with a MicroUSB connector for powering up the chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I need to tinker with my button first and get familiar with it,  then move on to other coding. I need to email the person who posted the blog to say thank you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also there were talks about using IoT for monitoring temperature in a warehouse to Site in a truck. The temperature was sent, in remote areas, where no wifi, via radio signals from the IoT device to a receiver (Spare or Vodafone) that then sent the info to the specific wifi address. That was pretty cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the question is, what do you want to monitor, and what IoT devices are available, at what cost, to monitor the items? Where to store and how to display data? This could be my next field of interest if there is sufficient help videos on how to do this stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to a Dynamics 365 Saturday event with lots of talks on Microsoft platform.
