IoT Services

There are a number of services targeting the Internet of Things market that provide a place to store and view data over the Internet. These services typically include a simple HTTP API for streaming data to them, as well as a web interface for viewing the stored data, both as raw samples and in various visual ways. The idea is that you'd have a device like a BeagleBone on a local network, say at your home, and it would be routinely sampling some sort of sensor, say measuring temperature. Every time it reads a new temperature value, the BeagleBone will send it to the remote service's database over the Internet. Then you would be able to go to a website from anywhere, say if you were traveling, and look at the current temperature in ...
