WiNoT® was conceptualized with the belief that it must be possible for IOT implementors to create wireless enabled IOT solutions without the need for complex embedded
or socket programming knowledge. The desire is to make it possible for anybody, even those who are non programmers to be able to build IOT systems.
The core philosopy of WiNoT® are:
-
It must be easy for people who are not electronic engineers or computer
science specialists to be able to create IOT solutions
-
Must follow the 3-Easy-C principle - Easy to a)Create, b)Configure and c)Customize
-
Wireless intelligence must be built into the product. Any developer who wants to create
customized sensors and output devices must be able to do so in easy steps
When we started our IOT journey, we started by conceptualizing WiNoT® with the same core philosophies. We built our first product, the WiNoT® integrated trainer. When we started deploying the trainer, one of the challenges we faced was that the protocols we were using in the trainer were not actually built for IOT. Be it HTTP, MQTT, COAP or whatever, the whole world is using protocols that were written for some other needs. They are being adopted for use in IOT. So another point we added to the philosophy was that the sensors must have a standard messaging format. This philosophy is what prompted us to develop the IONMP protocol and the related entities.
Keeping in line with WiNoT®'s vision of focussing on building
Smart,
Wireless enabled sensors, we have delegated the development and maintanance of the IONMP entities to the opensource community under the brand of
ThingsPing®.
We are working on developing a wide range of smart wireless enabled sensors and actuators. These devices will have wireless and cloud functionality integrated into the sensors. The devices can be
deployed directly without the need for complex code to enable the wireless and cloud functionality. These devices can be configured easily from the cloud.
