An introduction to android things and how to interconnect the Google Android things kit with different hardware and sensors

2. What is Android Things? Android Things lets you experiment with building smart, connected device applications.
3. Develop apps for your devices with existing Android development tools, APIs, and resources along with new APIs that provide low level I/O and libraries for common components like temperature sensors, display controllers, and more.
4. Key features • Wifi Antenna and Extender Cable • Multitouch Display • Camera Module • Rainbow HAT • Pico i.MX7Dual development board
5. Why Android Things • You can add support for peripherals as libraries/dependencies. • Security updates are managed by Google. • Easy to plug in other peripherals without much electronics knowledge. • Same code used in Android is the Same code that will be used in android things
7. Do more with Android Things

14. Real Case Application of Android Things
15. SmartHome Home on your hands
16. Currently, there is no real time house monitoring system that gives home information anywhere the homeowner is. In order for you to have a house monitoring system, you have to contact the different companies that offer the services.
17. This inspired an idea
18. With the above problems in mind, i came up with SmartHome which turns your mobile phone into a real-time home monitoring system anywhere, anytime! The home can be monitored not just from within the home but from anywhere, as long as the devices are network-reachable. .
19. Key features • Doorbell • Internet Monitor • Motion Detection • Receive notifications for motion and doorbell ring • Temperature and Pressure monitor • Overview of activities
