How about a workshop on using your arduino to build your own internet of things? You can turn any simple sensor or actuator into a fully networked smart device. Whether you want to make a remote controlled crock-pot, rfid door lock, or full scale home automation system, MQTT is a convenient way to to do machine-to-machine M2M communication. I could also show people how to monitor/control their devices over the web (apache/php/node.js/io.socket/etc)

W

e could setup a MQTT broker (Mine is running on my Rpi)

People could ma

ke sensors:

- pushbuttons

- rfid readers
- photodiodes
- etc and Actuators
- lights
- relays
- servo-motors
- crock pots
- etc

And we could get them all talking to each other over the MQTT network.
(You just need an Arduino + ethernet shield to participate)

Is this something people would be interested in?
