We use IoT quite a bit in the public sector, especially for things like traffic, weather and parking data, and we’ve been running much of it on our lorawan setup, using node on the actual devices.
I wouldn’t have thought it at first, but JavaScript is turning out to be our most important language for driving IoT, and while I haven’t heard about Johnny-five before, it looks pretty good.
- CharlesW 8y agoIf you're interested in JavaScript and IoT, check out Moddable[1] and their open source SDK/runtime[2] as well. It's by a small group of great engineers who know how to build tiny, performant runtimes.

- miketery 8y agoWhat are you finding the advantages of using JavaScript over another language like say python for those IoT applications?
