New Arduino IoT Cloud app

The Arduino IoT cloud has been out for a while now and you may have worked with it. From now on it is also possible to manage your Arduino IoT devices via an app on your smartphone!

Arduino Create provides an online version of the IDE where you can connect multiple devices to the Arduino IoT Cloud. You can manage every aspect of your project directly from a single dashboard. The environment is accessible for beginners and productive for professionals. The new app is the perfect companion to the Arduino IoT Cloud. Develop your IoT solution online from a desktop and manage and control your dashboards from a mobile device with the new Free Arduino IoT Cloud Remote app.

For now, the app is only available for iPhone. The app is already available for download in the App Store. Within a few weeks, the app will also be available for Android users.

We have been working with the Arduino IoT cloud for a while now. We really missed an app. You can open the IoT cloud in your browser, but it doesn't work great. As soon as the app for Android comes out, we will probably use it a lot.

The app is suitable for hobby as well as professional use. Advantages are:

• On the go: You can read data from sensors directly on your smartphone wherever you are. (provided you have an internet connection)
• Industrial: You have constant insight into the status of a production process, with the option to control the automation remotely.
• At Home: Monitor your home automation systems, check energy consumption from the comfort of your couch, or switch your lights remotely.

The addition of the Arduino IoT Cloud Remote app for accessing, monitoring, and controlling dashboards on the go from your phone is the final piece of the puzzle.

The latest dashboard for the Arduino IoT Cloud comes with a host of improved features. Creating a dashboard via desktop or tablet is quick and easy. The tool automatically configures your devices (including the secure crypto element) and automatically generates the main code for your project, making installation as easy as possible. A wide set of simple widgets to connect to the properties provides maximum versatility and allows you to set up a new dashboard in minutes.

All dashboards are fully customizable, it is possible to group devices and arrange them in any order – drag and drop to arrange the layout and choose from multiple options including graphs to visualize the data. You can collect and display data from multiple IoT devices in a single dashboard and control these devices as desired via your dashboard to fully integrate your solution.
