With the craze for IOT catching up with the neard world IBM has pitched in to satisfy the hunger first hand!
IBM and hardware partner Libelium hope to cut through the complexities of the so-called "Internet of things" through a do-it-yourself kit allowing users to test and deploy sensor networks. The companies on Monday introduced the Waspmote Mote Runner, a computer that can collect and share data with other devices within wireless range. IBM is providing the software tools while Libelium is making the hardware, which will include sensors to collect weather, server temperature and other information.
IBM is also working with the Internet of Things-Architecture consortium to define a standard around data transfer protocols and device interconnects. The development effort is partly funded by the European Union, with consortium partners including Siemens, NEC, Hitachi, Alcatel-Lucent and others.

Hardware
It is a motherboard with sensors for :-
- gases( oxygen, carbon dioxide)
- temperature
- motion
- light
- soil temperature
- GPS and others.
The board comes with standard interfaces including Ethernet and serial interfaces, so it can be plugged into existing hardware.
IBM is providing software tools called Mote Runner so programs can be written for the device using Java and C-Sharp. The tools support a range of data transfer protocols being proposed for the Internet of things including MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), which has been adopted by many hardware and software makers.With the kit, users will be able to simulate a mesh network in which data is collected and transferred. Programming is simpler as the APIs (application programming interfaces) are smaller.IBM is also working with the Internet of Things-Architecture consortium to define a standard around data transfer protocols and device interconnects. The development effort is partly funded by the European Union, with consortium partners including Siemens, NEC, Hitachi, Alcatel-Lucent and others.
