IOT Tools

 

 

Introduction to IoT Tools

IoT Tools stands for the Internet of Things Tools. It is a network or connection of devices, vehicles, and equipment applying embedded electronics, home appliances, buildings, etc. This helps in collecting and exchanging different kinds of data. It also allows the user to control the devices remotely over a network.

Today in the internet-driven world, IoT has engulfed the IT industry and is the latest buzzword. It has opened many new horizons for companies and developers working on IoT. Many exceptional products have been developed due to IoT app development. Companies providing Internet of Things solutions create hardware and software designs to help IoT developers create new and remarkable IoT devices and applications.

List of Top IoT Devices

Some IoT tools and devices are discussed below:

List of Top IOT Devices

1. Tessel 2

It is used to build basic IoT prototypes and applications. It helps through its numerous modules and sensors. Using Tessel 2 board, a developer can avail Ethernet connectivity, Wi-Fi connectivity, two USB ports, a micro USB port, 32MB of Flash, and 64MB of RAM. Additional modules like cameras, accelerometers, RFID, GPS, etc., can also be integrated.

Tessel 2 can support Node.JS and use the libraries of Node.JS. It contains two processors; its hardware uses 48MHz Atmel SAMD21 and 580.

MHz MediaTek MT7620n coprocessor. One processor can help to run firmware applications at high speed, and the other helps efficiently manage power and exercise good input/output control.

2. Eclipse IoT

This tool or instrument allows users to develop, adopt and promote open-source IoT technologies. It best suits building IoT devices, Cloud platforms, and gateways. Eclipse supports various projects related to IoT. These projects include open-source implementations of IoT protocols, application frameworks and services, and tools for using Lua programming language, promoted as the best-suited programming language for IoT.

3. Arduino

Arduino is an Italy-based IT company that builds interactive objects and microcontroller boards. It is an open-source prototyping platform that offers both IoT hardware and software. Hardware specifications can be applied to interactive electronics, and software includes Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is the preferable IDEs in all IoT development tools. This platform is easy and simple to use.

4. Platform IoT

It is a cross-platform IoT IDE. An integrated debugger is included. It is the best for mobile app development, and developers can use a friendly IoT environment for development. A developer can port the IDE to the Atom editor or install it as a plugin. It is compatible with over 400 embedded boards and has over 20 development frameworks and platforms. It offers an excellent interface and is easy to use.

5. M2M Labs Mainspring

It is an IoT platform and an open-source application framework. Developers utilize it to build machine-to-machine (M2M) applications that find applications in fields like remote monitoring and fleet management. It supports much functionality like validation and normalization of data, device configuration, data retrieval processes, and flexible modeling of devices. It is based on Apache, Cassandra, NoSQL database, and Java.

6. Kinoma

It is a Marvell semiconductor hardware prototyping platform. It enables three different projects. Two products are available to support these projects: Kinoma Create and Element Board. Kinoma Create is a hardware kit for prototyping electronic and IoT-enabled devices. The kit contains supporting essentials like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), integrated Wi-Fi, speaker, microphone, and touch screen. Element Board is the smallest JavaScript-powered IoT product platform.

7. Device- Hive

It is based on Data Art’s AllJoyn. It is a free open-source M2M, i.e., machine-to-machine communication framework. Launched in 2012, it has become the most preferred IoT app development platform. Its cloud-based API allows remote control regardless of network configuration. Its libraries, protocols, and management portal are controlled similarly. It finds its best application in smart home technology, security, automation, and sensor-related applications.

8. Kaax

It provides end-to-end support for IoT devices connected across the cloud. Due to its multi-purpose middleware, it allows users to build connected applications, IoT applications, and many smart products. Kaax describes the open-source kit as “hardware agnostic,” meaning it can interface with various hardware devices such as sensors, gateways, etc. It helps developers distribute firmware updates remotely, enabling cross-platform interoperability.

9. Home Assistant

It is an open-source tool mainly used for functions based on the Python coding system and home automation. Desktop and mobile browsers help to control their IoT system. It is easy to set up and is famous for its smooth operations, privacy standards, and security. It can support systems running on Python 3.

10. Net

For IoT developers, it provides an integrated solution. It offers services like cloud integration and business intelligence to provide web technologies and hardware. It delivers the development kit as a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), allowing developers to utilize its power for development purposes efficiently.

11. Raspbian

This IDE is created for the Raspberry Pi board. It has more than 35000 packages, and with the help of precompiled software, it allows rapid installation. The creation of it was not by the parent organization but by the IoT tech enthusiasts. For working with Raspberry Pi, this is the most suitable IDE available.

Conclusion – IoT Tools

We have seen some tools of IoT in this article, but many more significant ones are available. These tools help developers to explore and create innovative IoT applications and devices. These tools can help you pursue your IoT career and contribute to the IoT development society.
