A bit more about the talks:
- Affordable Smart Home - by Yoav Rosenthal, MindoLife LTD
MindoLife (https://www.themarker.com/technation/1.4261381) is an Israeli startup that wants to make IoT simple, safe and more affordable to everyone.
Yoav will talk about MindoLife's journey from an idea to product and the company's vision and challenges.
- Intro to home automation using HomeKit and HomeBridge - by Or Polaczek, Forter
Home automation is one of the things that IoT enables, allowing people to improve their life style while also saving time and energy.
This talk will introduce few concepts of home automation, how they've affected my day-to-day, and what it actually looks & feels like to have a 'smart home'.
The talk will include an intro to Apple's HomeKit (https://developer.apple.com/homekit/) platform, and how to get started with HomeKit with zero-budget and Homebridge (https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge).
This talk is a bit technical, but people without programming background should feel free to attend as well! Who knows? it might inspire you to start coding.
