Cover Story: Location awareness is a cornerstone in the embodiment of the Internet of Things (IoT) vision and, yet, support for seamless indoor positioning in IoT is in its early stages. The open source ThingsLocate positioning platform—built upon the popular ThingSpeak cloud service for IoT—fills this gap. ThingsLocate provides a flexible, user-friendly WiFi indoor positioning service for IoT, based on received signal strength fingerprinting. As shown by the experiment presented here, the smooth learning curve of ThingsLocate makes it an excellent reference platform for graduate studies and academic research on indoor positioning for IoT as enabled by ThingsLocate with limited setup and no coding effort, focusing on comparative analyses of the positioning accuracy for different devices and positioning algorithms.
