2026 Smoking Food with Pi4J

Let’s smoke some food with Pi4J, Vaadin, and Quarkus

20260319 - Live Stream

Live stream with Matti Tahvonen and Frank Delporte with the smell of smoked food and fresh Java code! Matti from the Vaadin team shows a project that started as a Raspberry Pi side project and turned into a full-blown IoT application. He has built a smoker controller — yes, an actual BBQ smoker — with Pi4J V4, Vaadin for the UI, and Quarkus on the backend. So we can now officially say that Pi4J V4 has been smoke-tested in production…

Matti is not just a Vaadin expert, he’s also been tinkering with hardware, thermometers, servo motors, and even sunset timelapse systems on a Raspberry Pi. So expect a conversation that goes from low-level Java APIs all the way to flames, temperatures, and camera angles.

Grab a coffee (or whatever you pair with BBQ), and enjoy!
