myDevices (News - Alert), the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions company that purports to simplify the connected world, lately through its Cayenne IoT project builder, has announced the official launch of its IoT Ready Program for hardware manufacturers at CES (News - Alert) 2017. The program provides manufacturers with the ability to have their devices seamlessly communicate with any other manufacturer’s device.
myDevices’ Cayenne platform is designed to help businesses to rapidly deploy IoT solutions and efficiently manage data. Since its introduction a year ago, more than 120,000 developers have been using Cayenne as their tool to start building IoT projects. Most of these projects have been used for maker solutions using the Raspberry Pi or Arduino. This announcement expands the platform’s MQTT API release and full LoRa support, expanding the Cayenne project building capabilities to enable developers and organizations to use any micro-controller, gateway, sensor, motor and actuator for IoT solutions such as smart buildings, smart farming, smart metering and asset tracking applications.
At CES, myDevices is providing demonstrations on how to build IoT solutions using Cayenne, and the following use cases for its IoT Creation Suite:
• STMicroelectronics (News - Alert) and Senet are visualizing real-time and historical sensor data to display the locations of limousines transporting attendees along the Las Vegas Strip through LoRaWAN-supported radio technology and public LPWAN connectivity and services to the Las Vegas area.
• Cayenne provides occupancy status in the smart parking solution, PNI Sensor Corporation’s PlacePod, an accurate, IoT-enabled smart parking sensor using the LoRa chipset from Semtech Corporation in use in the electric vehicle parking spaces at its Camarillo, CA (News - Alert) corporate headquarters.
• Tektelic Communications, a LoRa IoT gateway manufacturer, and OrbiWise, an LPWA IoT networks based on LoRa technology provider, partners with myDevices to showcase a combined end-to-end solution highlighting interoperability and seamless communication between devices.
“Getting different devices from different manufacturers to ‘talk’ to each other has been the holy grail for IoT,” said Kevin Bromber (News - Alert), CEO, myDevices. “For years the IoT industry has tried to develop a set of unified standards, but we can no longer wait to see if this will happen or continue to get derailed. With our free IoT Ready Program, developers can mix and match sensors, gateways and other devices all within one project simply by dragging and dropping from our extensive library of supported devices. The use case possibilities are endless and, fortunately, standards are not necessary.”
