ThingSpeak
Woohoo! I managed to attend my second consecutive IoT Brisbane Meetup! It helped that the meetup has moved to University of Queensland's iLabs. So I was able to easily drive there and park for free! I am glad I could make it because this month's talk was an intro to ThingSpeak by Daryl Ning from MathWorks. From there website:
“ThingSpeak™ is an IoT analytics platform service that allows you to aggregate, visualize and analyze live data streams in the cloud. ThingSpeak provides instant visualizations of data posted by your devices to ThingSpeak. With the ability to execute MATLAB® code in ThingSpeak you can perform online analysis and processing of the data as it comes in. ThingSpeak is often used for prototyping and proof of concept IoT systems that require analytics.”
I am excited about this as I think I might finally be able to do something with my CPRO boards from Mbient Labs. I mean, I can't connect the CPRO board directly because the board doesn't have wifi onboard. But I was going to combine with a Raspberry Pi (or Banana or Orange) anyway. But given my recent foray into home automation, I am looking forward to putting ThingSpeak to use!
