Let me share a bit about my experience listening to the struggles faced by university students who have to tackle an IoT project for their final year.

It’s fascinating and a bit daunting, to be honest.

Most students get the gist of what IoT is capable of, but when it comes down to actually building their projects, they hit some real roadblocks.

The challenges of building an IoT project

First off, there’s the hardware side of things.

It’s not just about slapping together some components; it requires genuine electrical and electronics know-how, which not everyone has.

Then, there’s the programming aspect — getting the IoT device to do what you want, or setting up an app to make sense of the data.

And speaking of data, the third hurdle is figuring out how to collect it from the sensors, store it properly, and then pull it out again for useful stuff like dashboard visualizations or app functions.

These steps can eat up a ton of time, especially if you’re trying to do it all solo.

From what I’ve seen, a student working alone often ends up with a simpler demo, not because they lack ideas, but because of resource and skill limitations.

Funding and team projects

While some universities don’t provide any funding for these projects, others might give just enough to cobble together a basic IoT setup.

In contrast, when students work in teams, they can pool their resources and skills, often leading to a more sophisticated project outcome.

That’s why I think it’s smarter for students to play to their strengths.

If you’re good with hardware, focus on that; if you’re a whiz at coding or data analysis, make that your centerpiece.

And here’s a bit of advice: don’t sweat the middleware or setting up a server from scratch.

Platforms like Favoriot can be a real game-changer.

They simplify device onboarding, streamline data collection, and offer ready-made dashboard widgets for customization.

This approach can free students up to concentrate on what they do best, whether that’s engineering a neat piece of hardware or developing killer app functionality, leading to a more polished and impressive final project.

Happy 7th Anniversary FAVORIOT!

[Note: Click here to have FREE access to this member-only story]

I keep tossing this one question back and forth in my head: “Is FAVORIOT gonna keep the lights on for another year?

It’s like, running a startup feels like being in a marathon with no clear finish line – just hills, mountains, and valleys for days.

Jumping into entrepreneurship, I honestly didn’t see the rollercoaster ride coming.

From the outside, you always hear about these startups going from zero to hero, hitting that IPO jackpot in just a few years. It’s all about the glory days, right?

You often catch stories about startup founders bagging millions in funding, scaling from a duo to hundreds, even thousands of employees, and then making it big internationally.

Those are the success tales.

But for every one of those, there’s a bunch that just… vanish.

They’re part of the grim 90% of startups that crash and burn each year.

Those stories? Not so loud.

FAVORIOT kicked off officially on February 20, 2017, but didn’t really get rolling until April 1, 2017, with just a few of us.

Since then, a lot of the original crew has moved on, replaced by fresh faces.

The past seven years have been a wild ride, to say the least.

Here’s the scoop:

1 — Starting with Zero Revenue – We went a whole year without making a dime, with our costs through the roof.

All because we were deep in the R&D phase, working on our “Raqib” product (an IoT thing for monitoring the elderly and Hajj pilgrims).

Then, just as we were ready to roll in 2019, COVID hit, and Malaysia’s Hajj got postponed for two years (2020–2021).

Just like that, all the money we’d poured into Raqib felt like it went down the drain.

2 — When No One’s Buying – In the early days, folks would come up to me all excited about IoT, wanting to collaborate but not really sure how.

But then, crickets.

No one actually wanted to buy. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to thinking, “Are they just here to pick my brain or what?

3 — Turning Down IoT Training Initially – At first, we thought people could just learn IoT on their own with all the tutorials out there.

Boy, were we wrong.

We only started offering commercial IoT courses by the end of 2021, almost four years too late!

4 — From 20 to 8300 Users – It began with just a handful of folks interested in our IoT platform.

Now? We’ve got users from 121 countries.

Talk about growth!

5 — Branding Favoriot – Once upon a time, googling “Favoriot” would get you “Favorito.”

Now, we’re the first thing that pops up.

We’ve made a name for ourselves in Malaysia as an IoT startup.

By some miracle, we’ve managed to claw our way out of the dreaded “Valley of Death,” despite its gravity trying to pull us back in.

Moving Forward

Maybe it’s time to hit up investors again, look for new partners, or VCs.

Back in the day, we didn’t stand a chance without traction or customers.

Rejection was the name of the game, whether pitching to investors or trying to get into accelerators.

But now?

It feels like it’s time to open up Favoriot’s doors again, see if we can snag some VC funding or find a company interested in making IoT part of their business.

Happy 7th Anniversary, FAVORIOT.

Here’s hoping this year, and the years to come, are even better than the last.

“May every team member of Favoriot grow wiser with the company, enjoying personal and professional development that leads to collective success.”

A shoutout to our earliest customers, too. Without their trust, it would’ve been a much tougher sell for the rest.

And finally, to my friends who’ve always had my back, thank you. Your support means the world.

Mini Weather Station — Use Case Scenarios

Harnessing the Power of Mini Weather Stations

Mini weather stations can be deployed anywhere

[Note: Click here to have FREE access to this member-only story]

One way or another, with accurate and localized weather information, value in all of it has never been more tangible, from agriculture, through environmental monitoring, to urban planning.

Lives are at stake.

While these systems function rather well for the purpose they serve, they are expensive, complex, and do not offer the granularity required to make site-specific and localized decisions.

That’s where the power of mini weather stations comes in — a solution that’s not only innovative but accessible and with the highest level of accuracy.

Why Precise, Local Weather Data Is Needed

You could think of it as planning an agricultural schedule without accurate rainfall predictions for your location down to the inch, or it’s like taking readings on urban air quality from a station miles off.

A shortage of localised weather data has the impact ranging from an inefficient use of resources to lesser productivity and to an additional environmental footprint.

Other than that, traditional weather stations are bulky, require substantial power, and added flexibility in deploying them effortlessly in different environments.

Increasing needs for accurate, real-time data on the environment

The rising impacts attributed to climate change elevate the importance, more than ever, of setting the bar high in environmental data production.

Demand is going through the roof — from farmers who need to know the precise time to plant or water, to city planners trying to mitigate urban heat islands.

This, obviously, delimits the existing system, pointing out to a critical necessity for a more flexible, accurate and cost-efficient solution.

Mini Weather Stations Driven by Solar Energy and 4G Connectivity

Enter the mini weather station: the compact and solar-powered IoT solution that redefines localized weather and environmental monitoring.

The sensors monitor the amount of rain, wind speed, atmospheric temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and carbon dioxide, thus giving a complete environmental overview.

It is powered by solar energy, hence making the system to be up and be operational throughout, in the absence of other power sources.

Second, 4G cellular communicates real-time data with the IoT platform of Favoriot, hence, making collection and visualization of data easy.

Use Case Scenarios in Practice

1 — Precision Agriculture

An advanced knowledge of the environmental conditions provides information on the yield of the crops and helps in judicious decisions on how to manage resources.

The mini weather station is able to provide this real-time information on the data of rainfall, temperature, and humidity to the farmer, which informs judicious decisions on irrigation and planting.

This would not only optimize the use of water but also enhance the health of the crop and yield.

2 — Urban Environmental Monitoring

Microclimate differences and pollution are regularly evident in urban areas.

Mini weather stations are used by city managers and environmentalists to monitor levels of air quality and temperature and humidity conditions simultaneously in diverse segments of a city.

Such information is critical towards the formulation of methods of combating urban heat islands and air pollution that if successfully implemented, would further enhance urban livability.

3 — Disaster Preparedness and Response

Mini-weather stations would be of much use in disaster preparedness and response in areas affected by extreme weather events.

By way of illustration, monitoring the amount of rain and wind speed enables one to predict and reduce the impact of floods and hurricanes, hence further evacuations and resource allocation.

The Technology Edge

Really, what is intriguing about the mini weather station is its technological sophistication in the simplicity of use.

With solar power, it is deployable in remote areas without thinking of the battery life to recharge it.

It further ensures data is transmitted and received in real time, coverage and connectivity of 4G to the Favoriot platform, which collects the data and visualizes it, hence being accessible and actionable to the decision-makers.

The ability to use advanced sensors with connectivity options makes the mini weather station a robust tool for multiple applications.

Here I am, lounging in my office chair, a cup of my favorite tea in hand, staring out into the vastness of my thoughts.

It’s one of those moments where the world seems to slow down, and you’re left with nothing but your reflections.

Today, my mind wanders to a question that’s been bugging me for years: Why is the adoption of technology, specifically the Internet of Things (IoT), taking so much longer than expected?

I remember when Kevin Ashton coined the term IoT back in 1999.

It was a concept that promised to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us.

Fast forward to 2014, Malaysia launched its National IoT Strategic Framework, and the buzz was electric. Yet, the excitement quickly fizzled out, and I couldn’t wrap my head around why.

Then came 2017, the year we launched our IoT platform at Favoriot.

We were pumped, ready to change the game, only to be met with a lukewarm response.

It was disheartening.

I spent countless nights looking at the stats, trying to figure out where we went wrong. It wasn’t until I hit the streets, talking to people, that it clicked.

The issue wasn’t with the technology itself but with the understanding of it.

Most people didn’t even grasp what IoT was, let alone why it was necessary. And if they were clueless about the ‘what’ and ‘why,’ the ‘how’ was even more of a mystery.

That’s when it hit me — the lukewarm response to our platform wasn’t about its functionality but about the lack of knowledge and understanding.

Fast forward a few more years, and the landscape started to change.

We realized that if we wanted to jumpstart IoT adoption, we needed to go back to the basics.

We needed to build awareness and nurture talent through IoT training.

It was a slow process, but with the push towards Industry 4.0 and AI, IoT began to gain prominence.

The need to collect data was undeniable, and how could you do that without IoT?

Now, as I sit here in 2024, sipping my tea and looking over the latest stats, I can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

The journey hasn’t been easy, but the growing IoT awareness and adoption is a testament to our efforts.

It’s a reminder that sometimes, to move forward, you have to take a step back and educate.

As I muse over this thought, I realize that the key to technology adoption isn’t just about creating cutting-edge solutions but also about bridging the gap in understanding.

And as the world slowly but surely embraces IoT, I can’t help but think, “We’re finally getting there.
