Digi International has launched the XBee ZigBee Cloud Kit, a new all-in-one kit that allows anyone with an interest in M2M and the Internet of Things to quickly build a wireless hardware prototype, connect it to the Internet and control it from the cloud.
The XBee ZigBee Cloud Kit is simple enough to help non-engineers get their creations connected to the cloud in 30 minutes and flexible enough for professionals to build rapid prototypes with advanced programming and cloud-based data sets.
Built around Digi’s XBee ZigBee Gateway, the XBee ZigBee Cloud Kit includes code examples and powerful tools to easily create cloud-connected projects. It includes access to the Internet which enables remote control of the device and data through a customizable application.
The XBee ZigBee Cloud Kit’s low price point makes it an ideal choice for professional and student prototypers and for product developers interested in quickly creating cloud-connected solutions, says the company.
“Connecting hardware creations to the Internet of Things should be easy,” said Joel Young, chief technology officer, Digi. “You can build a prototype that integrates Internet connectivity into ZigBee devices based on Digi’s bestselling XBee module platform. We’re excited to see what great new innovations will flow from this type of prototyping capability.”
