A couple developers from MIT’s Media Lab have come out with a new SIMPLE device that allows you to connect things to the Internet.
Their company #SuperMechanical is raising funds now to take this electronic device further. Details about this HOT new product on their #Kickstarter Webpage.
Right out of the box, #Twine has an internal temperature sensor and accelerometer. We’re also making additional external sensors. That brings the initial total to:
- internal temperature sensor
- internal accelerometer (for vibration, impact, and motion detection)
- a magnetic switch (useful for doors and anything else that moves)
- moisture sensor (detect the presence of water)
- breakout board — provides analog or digital input, power and ground (allows you to easily wire up other sensors that you think up — no soldering required!)
Using our simple web app you can configure Twine to speak in a variety of ways. At the moment we support:
- Text messaging (SMS)
- Configurable HTTP request (for fancy applications)
Each of these let you include sensor values (like the temperature) and your own text.
