Announcing the Arduino IoT Cloud
The Arduino IoT Cloud is an easy-to-use platform that makes it very simple for anyone to develop and manage their IoT applications, then deploy them to a large number of users. It allows users to create applications that solve real-life problems, and hopefully, improve their lives.
Convenience and flexibility are key considerations for the Arduino IoT Cloud. Arduino boards usually require you to program them by entering code by way of a sketch — now the Arduino IoT Cloud can do this for you. It will quickly and automatically generate a sketch when setting up a new thing, thus enabling a developer to go from unboxing their board to a working device within five minutes. The Arduino IoT Cloud also provides other methods of interaction, including HTTP REST API, MQTT, Command-Line Tools, Javascript, and Websockets.
What will the cloud offer?
- Based on the Arduino environment familiar to millions of users
- Quickly build 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 (contact create.sales [at] arduino.cc for more info)
- Based on open hardware and open IoT standards
“Going from an idea to a fully-functional IoT device has been a tedious process even for the most advanced engineers and developers… until now. Arduino now offers a complete platform with the MKR family providing a streamlined way to create local IoT nodes and edge devices using a range of connectivity options and compatibility with third-party hardware, gateway, and cloud systems. Whilst the Arduino IoT Cloud lets users manage, configure, and connect not only Arduino hardware but the vast majority of Linux-based devices — truly democratising IoT development.” – Massimo Banzi, Arduino CTO and Co-Founder
