Vision

Lawn Sprinkler Goals

Replace legacy sprinkler Current system is overly complicated

Conserve on Water Never have to worry about setting the

clock Remotely control the sprinkler

Why use Netduino?

One language (C# or VB.Net) across all devices

Visual Studio IDE Unit Testing or SpecFlow Debug code that is running on the device Mostly compatible with Arduino Shields

Breadboard

Schematic

Driving High Current Loads

Driving High Current Loads

Pull Down Resistor Added

Netduino is 3.3v not 5v

3.3 Volts

5 Volts

1.2 Volts

5 – 3.3 = 1.7

Use 3.3v Instead of 5v

Access Control

Service BusCaching

Azure Platform

Azure Account

Sign up (use your MSDN) Access the Azure Management Portal Create a Service Namespace Get your Default Key

Code: Service Bus

3 Simple Steps 1. Define the Service Contract

What do you want to expose over the SB?

2. Implement the SC3. Host the Service

Done!!!Note: app.config

Home Connector MSG Processor

Forwards messages to specific devices 1 or more devices might receive the same

message Example: Set Clock goes to sprinkler and

alarm clock Service Bus ConfigurationRepository

places sensitive connection info in a runtime file to keep it out of source control

Needs more work to be a Pub/Sub model

Remote Connector

HTTP/JSONService Bus Client

Exposing SB to WP 7

Why? Service Bus cannot be used directly on WP 7

Maybe Message Buffer REST API? More Clients (like iPhone or Android) Expose Service Bus using HTTP REST Intro to RemoteConnector.Web

Simple JSON msg processor that calls the Service Bus

Can be hosted multiple ways Azure Self Host Shared Hosting Provider

NancyFX

https://github.com/NancyFx/Nancy Alternative Light weight Web Framework Can be used in place of ASP.NET MVC Is not dependent on ASP.NET Easy to get up and running fast Easy to configure routes

Demo & Code

Sprinkler Status via Browser Review the SprinklerModule and NancyFX Review how the Service Bus is called Show Web.Config

bindingExtensions are required when AppFabric SDK is not installed

WP 7 Remote Controller

Sends HTTP Requests to the RemoteConnector Web Site HttpWebRequest

Uses Caliburn Micro as the MVVM Framework

Watch out for web request/response caching Your request to the RemoteConnector will be

cached on the phone if you don’t change query string parms for every request.

Keep the messages small

Home ServicesCloud Services

Date TimeWeather

Date Time Service

Get’s the current time Sends the time via Service Bus

Weather Service

Gets the current weather forecast Sends the forecast via Service Bus

Simple Service Bus Client

Show MessageBusClient Show Sprinkler.ConsoleClient Show App.Config

bindingExtensions are required when AppFabric SDK is not installed

What was hard

JSON Parsing between .Net Frameworks DateTime in particular Instead of using native DateTime I used a string with a

special format MF JSON parsing is painful

Look at http://netduinohelpers.codeplex.com/ for a better solution

Figuring out WP 7 UI Design Getting the Service Bus working on a Non

Development machine. Config settings

Building a stand alone sprinkler complete with an LCD and Keyboard and all the menus associated with it for setting up the schedule

What was easy

Getting the Service bus going in Development

Nancy as a Web Framework Debugging Sprinkler Code on Netduino as

opposed to other embedded alternatives Having Unit Tests and SpecFlow Tests for

the Sprinkler

Moving to a Service Based Model

Simplify Embedded LogicScheduling

Why Service Base Model

Changing software on the embedded device is time consuming This is especially true after the device is

deployed Complex business logic is easier to do in

the Full .Net Framework The scheduling logic could be enhanced

to support a lot more options The scheduling service could be used by

other Home Automation Enthusiasts

What is Next

Secure the communications Install the sprinkler and let it run Remove the continuous DateTime updates

The sprinkler should be able to request DateTime update on power up

The service sends the update less frequently and only when daylight savings changes

Remove the continuous Weather updates The sprinkler should be able to request the

forecast update on power up The weather service should send new forecast

when it changes

Done

YOU CAN DO IT!
