macchina.io at Global IoT Day Event Vienna

Günter Obiltschnig gave a talk titled Building IoT Applications With macchina.io And Tinkerforge at the Vienna Global IoT Day Event where he gave a quick introduction to both macchina.io and Tinkerforge, and then demonstrated how to build an application that collects various sensor measurements, visualizes them on a local website and performs various actions, such […]


Meet Us At Embedded World

Günter Obiltschnig will be at Embedded World February 24 to 25. We don’t have a booth, but Günter would be happy to meet for lunch, coffee or a drink. Please contact us if you’d like to schedule a meeting.


macchina.io Update

Development of macchina.io is progressing nicely and we’re approaching the first release. macchina.io is now on GitHub and today the new website for macchina.io has been launched.


Sierra Developer Day Video and macchina.io Update

Over at the Sierra Wireless Developer Blog the nice folks at Sierra Wireless have posted a video of me giving a demo of early macchina.io (back still known as the IoT Framework) at the Sierra Wireless Developer Day 2014 in Paris last June. A lot has happened since then. Macchina.io has made great progress and […]


Prevues of Coming Attractions: Macchina.io

Macchina.io is the new name for our IoT Framework which we’ve announced some time ago. A few weeks ago, at the Sierra Wireless Developer Day in Paris, we presented a demo of the current state of the project. Apart from our existing C++ toolkits — the POCO C++ Libraries at the core, the Open Service […]

New White Paper: Browser-based Secure Remote 
 Access for the Internet of Things

Secure remote access to the built-in web server of a device is one of the fundamental building blocks for the Internet of Things. my-devices.net enables easy and secure remote access, even if the device is located behind a NAT router or a firewall and does not have a public IP address. Read our new white […]

my-devices.net and Heartbleed

On April 7, a team of security researchers found a critical bug in some versions of OpenSSL that allow an attacker to read random memory regions of affected server processes. This issue is widely known as Heartbleed, and more formally as CVE-2014-0160. Immediately after becoming aware of the issue, we have checked the server hosting […]


The IoT Framework

Over the past few months we have been quite busy working on our newest product which we call the “IoT Framework”. In a nutshell, the IoT Framework contains everything needed for building software for Internet of Things-enabled devices. Of course the framework is based on our existing C++ toolkits, most notably the POCO C++ Libraries. […]


Introducing The New my-devices.net: Secure Cloud-Based Remote Access for The Internet of Things

We have just released a new and much improved version of my-devices.net, along with a completely new website. my-devices.net is cloud-ready service providing secure remote access to embedded devices and intelligent systems via HTTP(S) or other TCP-based protocols. With my-devices.net, any network-connected device running the my-devices.net connector software can be securely accessed remotely over the […]

Connecting a JavaScript Web Application to a C++ Backend With Remoting NG and JSON-RPC

Applied Informatics Remoting NG 2013.2 contains a new JSON-RPC transport that implements the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol. JSON-RPC is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol using JSON as serialization format and HTTP or WebSockets as transport. This can be used to make a JavaScript web application talk to a C++ backend, RPC-style, by simply […]
