It can be easily called as the “social network” of real time sensor data. A public Online service, OpenSensors.io helps people upload the data they have gathered from their IoT sensors for the benefit of the masses.
Members can publish a stream of data from virtually any source to the company’s computer servers—or subscribe to streams of data coming from others, using it for research, for their gadgets, or Online apps. They can even publish private feeds of data as well.
As it says on the Website, OpenSensors.io aims to build a connected world that puts people first. It’s a scalable real time IoT messaging engine that can easily process millions of messages a second from any Internet connected device.
What this “social network” does is to enable people to quickly create real time smart IoT products by giving them the components needed such as real time data access, security, storage, data analytics and machine learning. Members can use its hosted service or download the service and run it in on their own firewall.
Here are the many things this platform allows:
- Share communal data with the world or privately to build your own services
- Easily connect any device (yes, literally any) to our messaging broker
- Built-in device security authentication and easy-to-use device management
- Your own personal real time data stream to build applications or M2M (machine to machine) automation
