Cloud-based platforms. These are:

Temboo

Carriots

NearBus

So here’s a couple of companies / rebrands / pivots that I’ve noticed recently. I know it’s a pain in the ass to to integrate to a new API, but consider:

how many APIs are you going to be integrating to anyway?

how much developer work is to integrate to any one API?

what’s the danger of a single point of failure?

how many 9s of reliability are they promising? 

what’s the odds of any of these companies going out of business - or “pivoting” in the next few years? are you betting your company they won’t?

Note that this doesn’t distract from integration services like Mandrill or Twilio where what they’re providing APIs to are inherently really difficult integrations.

Jilia, which when we last wrote about it was a Raspberry Pi shield and a failed Kickstarter, has now rebranded itself as “Jilia is a cloud-based platform and API framework that empowers developers to imagine, build, and expand the Internet of Things with a single, simple API framework”.

CloudRail, “enables software developers to integrate everything via one single API. Integration of cloud services and smart devices is now fast and easy”.

ArduinoYun的相關範例在網路上越來越多人分享，想必大家常常遇到按照步驟與Temboo連線，但是Dropbox卻沒有任何回應。

首先可以來Activity的LOG來看Temboo是否有資料上傳的紀錄，紀錄內容有上傳資料的時間，還有上傳的裝置，如果用的是Yun的Linux系統，裝置會顯示PythonSDK，如果沒有任何上傳紀錄，代表你並沒有成功連線到Temboo網站，趕快看看Yun是不是有上網成功喔。

有沒有遇過Temboo傳過這樣的錯誤呢?也不知道為什麼?

這樣的問題除了在Dropbox之外也很容易發生，Temboo提供的一個功能是特別需要注意的，那就是oAuth服務，oAuth所做的是允許認證這項功能

1、允許用戶讓第三方應用存取該用戶在某一網站上儲存的私密的資源

2、無需將使用者名稱和密碼提供給第三方應用

這在ArduinoYun中非常重要，因為Yun很容易社群網站(比如g…

Platforms for Connected Homes

There’s a lot of hardware out there for the connected home and while many of these devices come with their own platforms for logic, control, and remote access, they don’t always speak the same language as devices from other vendors. Some devices only give you restricted control over your home because it’s simply too hard for a vendor to guess every single way a person might want to use their…
