The Roxby, a 1930s cinema restored as a community arts venue, drawn as a cutaway building with its connected things quietly on: the projector, the heating controller and a badge reader, the foyer intercom still on the password every unit shipped with in 2019, digital signage, a camera nudged to point at the box office counter, a fridge with a screen in the bar and the car-park barrier. Beside it, the walk that counted forty-three connected things in a building everyone thought had about six, and the four dull habits: know what is there, change what it came with, keep it away from the important things, and give every one an end date.

What you'll learn

  • Count the connected things in a building including the ones that don't look like computers, and name an owner for each.
  • Get default passwords changed with two lines on a commissioning sheet, and supply the update prompt the kit will never give.
  • Find out where the cameras actually point and what has a microphone, and ask for cheap kit to be kept away from important systems.
  • Separate still working from still supported, and give every item an end date that doesn't depend on it breaking.
