UbiquitousIoT

During the 2017 Christmas holiday, I went to Ibadan . I drove through University of Ibadan , the premier University in Nigeria. At the main gate of the institution, a security guard on duty handed me a plastic "tally" as a proof of entry. I think another copied down my car plate number. I drove through the school: passed by the famous Trenchard Hall, the University Bookshop, the Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Catholic Church,  the Chapel of Resurrection , the Abadina Schools and exited through the gate on Abadina Road.

What does he do? He switches on the generator when there is no public power and switches off the generator when he is aware that public power has been restored He switches on (or ensures this) street light when it is dark   he is the first responder if there is an issue on site However, let us evaluate replacing that function totally with IoT devices: Automatic Generator Start/Shutdown:...
