SensorCake - A Modular IOT Device Stack

SensorCake is a framework of simple IOT (Internet of Things) devices that can be connected together to create a customizable IOT stack that acts as one unit. Each of these devices, called “modules,” combines a sensor (or actuator) with a battery-powered, WiFi-enabled microcontroller in order to send data about the environment (or act on the environment in some way). With SensorCake, our primary goal is to allow users to build IOT solutions that fit their unique challenges and needs, even without in-depth knowledge of electronics. Prior implementations of IOT that are currently on the market, such as WiFi-connected thermostats or “smart” light bulbs, are very limited in scope, only serve a singular purpose and, we believe, do not live up to the full potential of IOT technology.
