Apply HN: Connyct – Complete IOT Solution
Features: 1. Create a Device: Just define the data structure and the GUI associated with that ( all with a UI interface - no programming required)
2. Follow / Share: People can follow or share their devices. For example a scientist places a weather station in Antarctica, you could follow that device. Or to be commercial, what if Kim Kardashain's weighing scale uses Connyct? Million would be interested in following her weight. Developers of the device just focus on the device, we take care of the rest.
3. Data Analytics: Sensors/Devices just send their data; We perform complex data analytics on them.
4. Interconnection: You can do trigger actions on the devices you own (in real time) - for example, if temp in antartica weather station is less than 30, email me or turn on light at home, etc . All this with no programming.
Use Cases: 1. Companies make internal phone apps all the time. In the future, they are going to make internal IOT devices and they need a platform for that. We are that.
2. You have an idea for an IOT device, use our service to create the device - you focus on the device coz the backend, website, phone app is all done. Scale from 1 to a million.
3. You own a company and need a custom IOT device - you need to hire a h/w designer, backend developer, phone app developer, maintain a server etc. Use Connyct and you only need someone to send us the data - may be an intern? Look at the cost savings.
Saving the best for the last: FREE for developers and users. Only cost for storing data along term.
