Closed source clients installed on your hardware, with fairly open ended EULAs and privacy policies, and no mention of encryption?

Pass, thank you.


Terrible domain name, and claims on the home page are demonstrably false; https://www.losant.com has a GUI for building your IOT-connected workflows.

There are others: http://www.postscapes.com/internet-of-things-platforms/

Also: https://io.adafruit.com is nice for hobbyist projects.


Please note that for most of such project the IoT is not appropriate as it will leak your very private information from your home.

The more correct term you are looking for is ND - Networked Device - and very often also AND - Autonomous Networked Device.


So is this like yahoo pipes (but for building dashboard and app control) but for IoT devices?

Genuinely curious...because I was about to start researching getting started using Jasper [https://jasperproject.github.io/]...but then this seems interesting, though not quite sure if it would do some of the same that Jasper does (albeit w/o voice control of course), or totally different things...?


[lana voice] Nope!!!

No ESP8266 support?


Doesn't Octoblu do that?


...or NodeRed?


Ooo, cool, i like this [http://nodered.org] better because its open source. Thx!


There's also PageNodes, Node-Red for the browser. I IPFS-ified this one.

node-red was the first thing I thought of when I read the title
