Richard Leddy has been writing all kinds of programs since his days at the university. Starting as a research assistant, he wrote programs in C, C++, and other languages for gathering physical data and displaying it on screens. It started in the early 1980s with speech waves and spectrograms and has continued since then. There have been occasions for writing programs for rendering holographic gratings, for writing programs for real-time operating systems for experiments having to do with interacting with hardware for AI and ground ops for space shuttles, Linux device drivers for pulling image frames of faults from custom hardware, embedded systems, and now Arduinos and similar devices that take measurements such as temperature or record speech and play music. All this has been interspersed with AI systems that figure out to make movies, educational multimedia, web page development, and more. Web pages that talk to physical devices are yet another step in this process.
When designing interfaces for IoT web page, one always has many options. In the previous part of this article, Richard Leddy shed light on the meaning of IoT and how Vue.js can be used to hosts groups of IoT human-machine interfaces. Today, Richard Leddy will take a closer look at lazy-loading panels and how to keep the Vue state in sync with devices. More about the editing process may be considered in some other discussion. There is a lot to it. But, for now, we have the tools we need in order to load hierarchal components and make them come alive.

IoT is growing to include many devices with many owners. Web developers will be faced with the problem of finding ways to enable owners to interact with their devices. But, this problem gives rise to a great deal of business. In this article, Richard Leddy will explore some aspects of web page development for the Internet of Things (IoT) that are already in demand. This discussion delves into the interface requirements using Vue.js as a catalyst and illustrates one method of webpage to device communication out of many subsitutions.
