Arduino has never ceased to impress everyone, and recently have launched the Beta version of their IoT cloud that brings in more awesomeness. The beta version brings autonomy to the Arduino and Makers ecosystem. Now, the connection between an Arduino board and cloud is no more dependent upon services like “ThingSpeak”, “Thinger.io” and several others.
The Arduino IoT Cloud is a simple and quite powerful Internet of Things platform. It makes it very simple for anyone to develop and manage IoT applications – freeing us from the most complex tasks and enabling us to focus on solving real problems in our business or everyday life. Built-in Arduino cloud services compatibility makes it aligned for all the processing you can think of. Data transfer from a board to the cloud has never been that much safe, especially when working with other less known and trustworthy platforms. With Arduino IoT platform, you don’t have to worry about that.
Another exciting feature of the new platform is the “auto-sketching“. Previously, you had to write a sketch program and upload it on the device to connect a board to the cloud, but this is a thing of the past. The Arduino IoT Cloud can do this for you, and it can quickly generate a sketch when setting things up. It frees you from the hectic work, and the device will be ready to run within 5 minutes, and of course, you can still add your own code. Arduino boards supportHTTP REST API and MQTT. While as usual Command-Line Tools, Javascript, and Websockets are also integrated and supported.
What Will The Cloud Offer?
- Based on the Arduino environment familiar to millions of users
- Build and deploy remote sensor monitoring using widgets
- Connect to a spreadsheet, database, or automate alerts using webhooks
- Devices secured using X.509 certificate-based authentication
- Developers can create custom apps using Arduino IoT Cloud APIs
- Based on open hardware and open IoT standards
