The Internet of Things (IoT) is fundamentally changing how we interact with the digital world. In this session we’ll explore the implementation of real examples which bridge the gap between the physical and digital world using PHP: asking Alexa for information within a PHP application; displaying API data on an Arduino-powered display; using PHP to control LEDs on a Raspberry Pi to monitor application uptime; and connecting IR sensors to Slack to see whether a conference room is in use.
Raspberry Pi
This project is a DIY touchscreen panel to arm/disarm Home Assistant's alarm system. It's powered by a Raspberry Pi, 3.5" touchscreen display, a custom Python-based application, and MQTT.
Check out the full build details and the source code for more.

Using a Unicorn pHAT we can easily display the IP address in binary when the Raspberry Pi boots!

For Pi Day 2017 I created a really fun project - the PHPUnicorn!
A simple PHPUnit listener collects test results and sends them to a Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless device in real-time. As the device receives the stats it lights up LEDs green, red, or orange to visualize the progress and results of your unit tests.

This repository contains the source code for the 4 demos given during my "Rise of the Machines: PHP and IoT" talk at php[world] 2016.
