IoT platform
for solo developers.
Build real systems with microcontrollers and single-board computers
Discover tools that get you fast feedback, based on standard protocols, not invented ones.
#include "ohioiot.h"
// your definitions
void setup() {
controller.setup(MQTT_USER, MQTT_PASS);
// your setup code
}
void loop() {
controller.loop();
// your loop code
}
Why It's Different
It's MQTT
No confusing abstraction layer — you're talking directly to the broker
You don't need to learn a new protocol. There is nothing between you and the broker. Once you have MQTT credentials, you can publish and subscribe like anywhere else, without regard for the platform actually being there.
Just Connect
No 'widgets' or 'things' — graphs and dashboards build when you publish
Publish to 'numb' or 'bool' and it will graph. Publish to 'status' or 'settings' and it will build the device dashboard. You don't need to plan your visualizations — they'll just be there
Firmware Framework
Download reference code and load it into Arduino IDE or PlatformIO
These come in three layers - Minimalist, Scaler, and Champion. You can start with the basics and then graduate to the more powerful SDKs. The Champion gives you over-the-air updates, without any extra effort on your part. You can still live inside of the regular setup() and loop() that you are familiar with.
YouTube Tutorials
There will (soon) be videos showing how this stuff works.
It's a little extra work, but we'll make sure you can see with your eyes how to use this platform, so you can actually picture your next steps when reviewing the docs.
No Vendor Lock-In
Built on open standards, not proprietary platforms
No one wants to feel that their engineering work must be thrown out if you leave your service provider. When building on this system, you'll be working with MQTT, which means your devices can be ported to anywhere.
Who It's For:
- Solo engineers trying to solve a problem without the whole team
- Makers who want their projects remotely connected
- ESP32 and Raspberry Pi builders ready for the next step
- Anyone who wants MQTT hosting without enterprise complexity
