Developing for the Internet of Things hinges on the ecosystems, doesn't it?
In most IoT use cases you'll want Wi-Fi for remote control and access to cloud resources like storage, compute, analytics and dashboards. You'll use Bluetooth 5 low energy (BLE) to connect sensors and to set up mesh networks covering large numbers of Things.
Those are very different wireless networking technologies and ecosystems you'll have to accommodate. How many different radios will it take to meet your product requirements? And how are you going to cobble them together?
If you’re an IoT device developer, you know the "I" in "IoT" means your device will, at some point, need to communicate with the cloud. But what if your device development expertise or schedule doesn’t extend to cloud development?
Enter droplit.io (Droplit) — a cloud-based, protocol-agnostic platform, that provides a rich API for integrating networked devices through the cloud, such as consumer wireless products, building automation systems, and PLCs.
