Sentilo (“Sensor” in Esperanto) is an open-source software sensor and actuator project.
Description
Sentilo is designed to be cross-platform with the objective of sharing information between heterogeneous systems and to easily integrate legacy applications.
Sentilo was started in November 2012 by the Barcelona City Council, through the Municipal Institute of Informatics (IMI), for its smart city project called City OS.{{Cite web |title= Inside the City OS |publisher= City of Barcelona |author= Pere Comas Guerri |date= December 3, 2013 |url= http://ibarcelona.bcn.cat/sites/default/files/city_os_-_inside.pdf |url-status= dead |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20160325185623/http://ibarcelona.bcn.cat/sites/default/files/city_os_-_inside.pdf |archivedate= March 25, 2016 |access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
Since then, the city of Terrassa joined the project, as well as the Cellnex Telecom.{{Cite web |title= Sentilo Sponsors |work= Project web site |url= http://www.sentilo.io/xwiki/bin/view/Sentilo.About.Project/Sponsors |access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
Sentilo could be used for other Internet of things applications. Cisco Systems promoted the CityOS project and Sentilo in 2014.{{Cite web |title= IoE-Driven Smart City Barcelona Initiative Cuts Water Bills, Boosts Parking Revenues, Creates Jobs & More |publisher= Cisco Systems |date= January 2014 |url= http://www.cisco.com/assets/global/ZA/tomorrow-starts-here/pdf/barcelona_jurisdiction_profile_za.pdf |access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
Also in 2014, Spanish company Libelium announced they would use it with their sensors.{{Cite news |title= Barcelona's Sentilo smart city the first built by a municipality |publisher= Rethink Research |author= Alex Davies |url= http://rethinkresearch.biz/articles/barcelonas-sentilo-smart-city-the-first-built-by-a-municipality/ |date= June 27, 2014 |access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
In 2016, some initial tests were discussed.{{Cite news |title= IoT beneath the city streets: Barcelona tests out open platform for smart services |work= ZD Net |author= Anna Solana |date= January 21, 2016 |url= https://www.zdnet.com/article/iot-beneath-the-city-streets-barcelona-tests-out-open-platform-for-smart-services/ |access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
It can be on-premises software or a platform as a service using cloud computing from OpenTrends called Thingtia, announced in January 2017.{{Cite web |title= About Us |work= Thingtia Cloud web site |url= http://www.thingtia.cloud/en/about-us/ |access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
Sentilo can be downloaded direct from the web or viewed in GitHub. Data such as the number of sensors and transaction rate are available at a web site.{{Cite web |url= http://connecta.bcn.cat |title=Sentilo BCN:Platform Sensors and Actuators Barcelona |date=|website=|publisher=|access-date= March 26, 2017 }}
