Tiny dev board with Linux & WiFi + REST API + App Store + High Quality Tutorials + Cool Projects + Vibrant Dev Community = Our Vision

Nazbaztag: Smart rabbit when everything else was stupic

Hmm… Edyn garden sensor, Rachio Smart Irragation controller, Parrot H20 plant sensor, … That’s a lot of sensors. I asked myself, “Who’s buying these things?”. My answer is this blog post which includes the following really-official-looking IoT Guru pie chart:

3 Outstanding Flic Smart Button Ideas: Plucked From The Ether By The IoT Guru #IoT #Flic

What’s the Flic, you say? Why it’s a wireless button that you can hook up to practically anything. It is badass, if you can say that about a button?

Here’s a cool graphic: While limited functionality IoT devices can elegantly perform a single function like locking a door. Only a lack of imagination can limit the functions of the Flic.
