Well, my platform friend wants to share a little knowledge about IoT. IoT is a concept to expand the utilization of internet connectivity. In simple words the purpose of any IoT device is to connect with other IoT devices and applications (mostly cloud-based) to convey information using internet transfer protocols. The gap between device sensors and data networks is filled by the IoT Platform.
The platform connects data networks for sensor setup and provides insights using backend applications to understand the amount of data generated by hundreds of sensors. Given the possibilities that the internet of things offers technology companies have started to take advantage of it. There are many IoT platforms available now that give you the option of deploying internet applications of things anywhere. for example as follows:
1. Ubidots
Ubidots is another interesting IoT platform that provides a wide range of services. Firstly, it supports multiple devices like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Particle, Espressif, Onion and many more. In addition, there are several different types of services from device connectivity to data visualization. Some of the features owned by Ubudots include the following:
2. Fire Base
Firebase is a service from Google that is used to make it easier for application developers to develop applications. With Firebase, app developers can focus on developing apps without having to put in a lot of effort. Two interesting features of Firebase are Firebase Remote Config and Firebase Realtime Database. In addition, there are supporting features for applications that require notifications, namely Firebase Notification
3. Geeknesia
Geeknesia is an Internet of Things (IoT) Platform to facilitate the development of IoT solutions, is also a means to showcase ideas, projects, solutions, or startups related to IoT, and is a Crowdfunding platform for various technology products. Geeknesia was developed and created by PT. IoT Innovation Indonesia. Users are all users of the Geeknesia platform as Users, Creators, and Supporters.
4 . Telkomsel IoT
PT Telekomunikasi Selular or Telkomsel develops the internet of things business by building a digital ecosystem through collaboration with a number of stakeholders.
Telkomsel said to stimulate the growth of the internet of things (IoT) ecosystem, Telkomsel has the Telkomsel Innovation Center (TINC) program. The TINC program summarizes various activities in shaping Indonesia's IoT ecosystem
5 . Blynk
BLYNK is a platform for Mobile OS applications (iOS and Android) which aims to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, WEMOS D1 modules, and similar modules via the Internet.
This application is a creative place to create a graphical interface for projects that will be implemented only by the drag and drop widget method.
It's very easy to use to set everything up and can be done in less than 5 minutes. Blynk is not tied to a specific board or module. From this application platform, you can control anything remotely, wherever you are and at any time. With a record connected to the internet with a stable connection and this is what is called an Internet of Things (IOT) system.
6. Antares
ANTARES is a brand under PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia which is specifically engaged in the IoT Platform.
features provided by antares:
Security All communications are transmitted on an encrypted path. Everything is set up to be highly reliable, secure, and robust on top of the Secure Transport Layer. Reliable Antares will manage your infrastructure 24/7. Focus on the ideas and services you want to build. Various Devices Antares supports various devices such as Arduino, ESP, Android, Raspberry Pi, etc. and various programming languages. Open API You can not only control your application through the dashboard but also use the provided API.
7. Thing Speak
Thing Speak is an open source Internet of Things (IoT) application platform and API for storing and retrieving data from things using the HTTP protocol over the Internet or via a Local Area Network. ThingSpeak allows the creation of sensor logging applications, location tracking applications, and social networking things with status updates. ThingSpeak was originally launched by ioBridge in 2010 as a service to support IoT applications. ThingSpeak has integrated support of the numerical computing software MATLAB from MathWorks. Allows ThingSpeak users to analyze and visualize uploaded data using Matlab without requiring the purchase of a Matlab license from MathWorks.
