I'm using IBM Bluemix Services to develop a real time application. While developing the application I need to analyse the device data (Golo4 obd2 device) on the IoT platform. Please guide me to the step-by-step information regarding the connection of the device.
I don't have one of those devices but from a quick google it seems the only way to connect it to the web is via a mobile app they provide. Perhaps you can ask the manufacture or check the instruction manual? There is no way to analyze the data in bluemix if you can't get it from the car to bluemix. It is a common architecture for this to be via a phone (bluetooth to the phone and then wifi or mobile network to the WWW). Which is why it becomes important to consider the impact on the phone's battery life and the cost to the user of the amount of data transferred and minimize both.

Most electronic home goods today are able to be setup through a webpage to connect the device to a home network. Usually there is some sort of bluetooth or wifi direct finding mode to access the device and then using a webpage or app the device is given the SSID/password for a wifi network and then you're off to the races. What is that tech called? I would like to replicate the setup experience with a generic IoT device running linux. I just don't know what that process is called to start digging into how to do it.
Bluetooth and Wifi-direct specifications are (consumer-usage-wise) public-domain knowledge, just setup a temporary open server and accept any connection after each hard-reset, and do what you have to do like here (BT) and here (Wifi-direct). There are other proprietary technology like TI CC3000, which usually relates to specific hardware solutions.
I have a few questions regarding onboarding a thing in IBM Bluemix IOT. My questions are as follows:
In scenario 1: Let's say I need to connect only one thing to the Bluemix platform, so I configure the device type, device, authentication token, etc., to connect the device to the platform. This is possible in the current situation.
In scenario 2: If I need to connect 50 things to my platform, will I be configuring each and every device to get the device ID, token, etc.?
Does Bluemix provide any discovery mechanism or other ways to configure things automatically?
You can programmatically register devices using bulk/devices operations. https://docs.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/swagger/v0002.html#!/Bulk_Operations/post_bulk_devices_add
Also, this recipe describes how to register multiple IoT devices.
If you are using a gateway, devices can be auto registered:
look for "Gateway auto-registration"
Here are some other links that may be helpful.
This recipe talks in detail about how to register a device in Watson IoT Platform - https://developer.ibm.com/recipes/tutorials/how-to-register-devices-in-ibm-iot-foundation/
This Java sample shows how one can do bulk addition/deletion - https://github.com/ibm-messaging/iot-platform-apiv2-samples/blob/master/java/api-samples-v2/README.md
I studied your article (CoAP) in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7228.
we are developing Home automation Solution with IoT enabled devices.
I have following doubts to provide the seamlessly solution for Home Automation.
1. I have some appliance with Wi-Fi enabled controllers
2. These controllers are connected to One Standard Router (ex:- CISCO,TP-Link, D-Link). All appliance connected to one router through Wi-Fi.
3. These appliance controlled through local handheld devices by using our proprietary protocol with in the Home network.
Now, we want to give a one feature like operate these appliance by using Handheld device from Remotely.
Internet is enabled to this Router & also register one domain name.
But our problem is how to send commands or data from remote devices through Internet to home appliances.
Note:-
1.I don’t want to develop or place controller between IoT devices &
Remote handheld devices.
2. Request is initiated by remote handheld device only.
I hope, any body can guide to me for better solution.
Thanks in advance
Even if it's not a programming question I would like to make some references that can help you with decisions:
AllSeenAlliance AllJoyn Framework SmartHome Working Group. I think, it will guid you how to develop better solution.

I am working on an application that communicates via TCP/IP with an external device that controls a large piece of machinery. How would I submit this to apple?
Do you think apple must test the hardware and machinery as well?
Can I create a demo login that acts as though it is controlling a device without any wireless communication?
IIRC, someone else created a demo login to control some sort of online simulation of the expensive hardware, and got their app approved.
I am looking to develop an iPhone application that will require point-to-point WiFi communications on an iPhone. I would like to use the WiFi interface and have the application stream between the phone and a WiFi device. Does anyone have some experience with this? Is it even possible? I know there is a discovery application but I am looking for something a little more robust.
As far as I know (as the SDK stands now), the only thing available is communication over the existing network connection. The SDK doesn't allow for setting up wireless network connections, or creating ad-hoc networks. I believe the only way to join or create wifi networks is through the settings app.
