Announcement of DeviceHive Playground Shutdown

Dear DeviceHive Community,

We want to thank you for your ongoing support and for exploring our open-source IoT platform, DeviceHive. The DeviceHive Playground, our free testing environment, has been instrumental in helping users evaluate and experiment with DeviceHive capabilities.

However, after careful consideration, we have decided to discontinue the DeviceHive Playground service as of Jan 15, 2025. This decision allows us to focus our resources on improving the core DeviceHive platform and delivering more robust features to meet your IoT needs.

What does this mean

DeviceHive 4.0 released

The DeviceHive team is super-excited to share some updates we have developed over the last year. We know it’s been a while, but our open-source IoT platform is better than ever because we bring a perfect combination of cloud, customization, convenience, and data management functions.
We are delighted to announce that we have released a new version of DeviceHive. This version brings major improvements that align DeviceHive with the most advanced development environment to unleash your creativity and problem-solving skills.

User Interface for Embedded Devices with Modern Web Technologies

UI from embedded lib from https://github.com/Nikolay-Kha/GUILib

The user interface is an essential part of any device. A device must communicate with the user through switches, lights, or screens. Devices are usually connected to a PC with a USB cable; software drivers must be installed and special software is necessary to interact with the user. Some devices are built based on regular PC hardware and have their own screens to display data and control functions. In both cases, the software is typically written using complicated languages

Industry 4.0 Innovations at the Time of Crisis

Industry 4.0 Challenges in 2020

The concept of Industry 4.0 refers to the use of smart technologies to make manufacturing less wasteful, more efficient, and more productive. Whether it is to adapt to changing markets, to secure competitive advantage, or to raise the value of a product – innovative manufacturing processes are changing the manufacturing landscape dramatically.

But how do we continue innovating in an ongoing health and economic crisis with significant uncertainty and likely limited resources?
