In this presentation, I demonstrate using .NET nanoFramework on a microcontroller along with .NET runtime on a Raspberry Pi to control home automation. The microcontroller acts a beacon relaying button presses from a repurposed Gravis PC GamePad to a microservice running on the Pi, which handles calling the various APIs needed to control smart home devices such as connected air conditioners and lighting. Echoing the expression “Turtles all the Way Down”, we see how C# can be leveraged across layers in an IoT solution.
