Open your front door, the serverless way

Creating your own IoT door lock may seem like a challenge, however with a few simple API solutions, we were able to get a prototype up and running in a day. In this talk, we are going walk through how Nicholas Grenié, Developer Advocate at Typeform and Jordan Schuetz, Developer Relations at PubNub created an IoT automated locking door with the TypeForm API and PubNub Functions.

We will be discussing how the model house was built and how we used an Arduino Yun to power servo motors that open and close the front door. Additionally, we will talk about how we used the Slack API for authentication on whether the door should be open or closed.
