Devices

IoT Button:  Our IoT button allows you to communicate with other devices and recieve messages back.  Messages can be recieved in the form of distinct ringtones, an LCD screen,  RGB Led's and LED arrays.

What happens when you push the button?  Pretty much anything you can think of. 

Open doors remotely.   Trigger a fleet of panic buttons.  Send messages and confirm receipt, turn on and off relays, outlets or initiate complex sequences.

Our buttons are frequently used in conjunctions with other devices to create customized solutions.

Tell us what you want the button to do and we will do our best to make it happen.

Remote Relays:   A relay is a simple device which turns a circuit on and off.   They are ubiquitous in the world around you.   It's basically a fancy switch.    Relays can be used to automate lighting, control temperatures, open doors, and thousands of other tasks. 

Remote Sensors:  Detect motion, doors opening, temperature, humidity, weight, and countless other environmental and physical attributes.    We can capture and log data, send alerts, operate relays, pumps, motors and all manner of devices.  

Controllers send, receive and process data.   They can range from simple to complex.   We often use Raspberry Pi's, inexpensive PC's or virtual machines as our controllers.  They usualy come equipped with a web interface for operation and programming.   They may reside in a pysical location or on the cloud depending on the application. 

Brokers exchange information between controllers and devices.   Often the broker software resides on the controller and the functions are combined.    As an example, in a simple system to maintain water temperature, the heat source may be connected to a relay with a thermost and transmitter.   The thermostat sends the temperature to the controller via the broker.   The controller sends instructions to the broker which then forwards those instructions to the  device which is actually operating the relay which controls the temperature.   Obviously a lot of things can go wrong here so it is important to have safeguards in place which cover any possibility.
