Introducing IoT Rapid Development Kits to build a project in 30 minutes

At AllThingsTalk we are always looking at ways to provide additional tools so that you can make the most of your IoT data. On that note (and in the holiday spirit) we are pleased to announce a new ‘Control’ which we are releasing today.

[12 December]: XinaBox is pleased to announce the partnership with OKdo. We have teamed up to provide expert and non-expert users with a simple way to explore the Internet of Things (IoT) by creating smart devices and IoT systems. In attempting to explore and leverage Big Data and IoT technologies, many users still face a complex landscape of hardware, software and IoT services. By integrating XinaBox hardware (that anyone can assemble in seconds) and the OKdo Cloud (powered by AllThingsTalk) (connect your things and interact with them for free) we have greatly improved and streamlined the user experience, making it easier for beginners to get started and for experts to get productive.

[5 November]: XinaBox is pleased to announce our partnership with ALSO AllThingsTalk. We have teamed up to provide expert and non-expert users with a simple way to explore the Internet of Things (IoT) by creating smart devices and IoT systems. In attempting to explore and leverage Big Data and IoT technologies, many users still face a complex landscape of hardware, software and IoT services. By integrating XinaBox hardware (that anyone can assemble in seconds) and AllThingsTalk’s Maker platform (providing IoT tools to collect, connect, visualise and use the data) we have greatly improved and streamlined the user experience, making it easier for beginners to get started and for experts to get productive.

Developers are looking for best-in-class tools and building blocks to create their IoT solutions. AllThingsTalk Maker+ has been developed with just that in mind. Leveraging all capabilities of AllThingsTalk Cloud, Maker+ offers developers the platform they need to develop professional IoT solutions.

IoT projects have a tendency to grow rapidly and include a large number of devices sending massive amounts of data to the cloud. To effectively manage such projects, it is important to have a clear understanding of the current status.

The true value of IoT projects is realised not when the data is received on the cloud but when decisions are taken based on that data. These decisions can be as simple as notifying the correct people in case something is going wrong (or right), to as complex as controlling devices on the network based on signals received from other devices.
