IoT Sensors from Reuse.

Reclamation as a way of recycling has always been dear to my heart. Believe there is plenty of "old" stuff out there that can be made new again. Like digital Westinghouse and Cutler Hammer meters running INCOM - made modern via a PXG600E to TCPIP protocols. PXG was perhaps ahead of its timeand internally conflicted? Certainly not to everyone's taste.

Thought about intelligent edge display and sensing devices a few years back. Hard to nucleate production. But what if you reused existing?

Well that is what Phonvert envisioned. Convert smartphones into IoT nodes.

And of late a few are making it more real. Manything. Modifi Wemodifi. 

Here is an IBM Bluemix IoT sensor recipe.

More generally IoT sensing apps.

What other existing infrastructure could we reuse?
