IoT Hub with Temboo
Temboo allows to connect the hardware to many services in the cloud. Each service is managed by a chroreo, which acts as a hub.
The Temboo library comes packed with the Arduino and Energia IDEs, and supports many more platforms. For the weather station example, I've followed the example Save LaunchPad data to a Google Spreadsheet. This example uses the Google Spreadsheets AppendRow choreo and a data sheet on Google Docs.b |
Configure
Although Temboo provides step-by-step tutorials specific to each connected service and hardware supported, the configuration includes 11 steps.
Each procedure requires inputs and generates output automatically. |
Conclusion
Temboo offers a hub to connect virtually anything with everything.
The standard example I took might not be the right one. Other choreos allow to send an e-mail, create a ticket on a help desk, track a parcel delivery, and much more. Temboo seems to inherit the complexity from the configuration processes of the services it connects to. Even if the guided procedures for the choreos are of great help, the overhaul solution seems complicated when compared with a more integrated solution. |
