Twine has just started its journey on Kickstater, looking to make the
jump from concept to manufacture and is a new device which has been
designed to allow you to easily connect things and monitor them from the Internet. Allowing you to create Internet connected systems and objects anywhere you have WiFi.
Twine is low-power hardware device that works with real-time web
software to make networked physical computing simple and versatile, say
its creators. Twine is equipped with a wireless
module tightly integrated with a cloud-based service, together with
on-board temperature and vibration sensors, and an expansion connector
allowing you to connect additional sensors if required. Watch the
promotional video after the jump to see it in action.
Its developers explain how Twine has been designed to work:
"The Spool web app makes it simple to set up and monitor your
Twines from a browser anywhere. You set rules to trigger messages — no
programming needed. The rules are put together with a palette of
available conditions and actions, and read like English: WHEN moisture
sensor gets wet THEN tweet "The basement is flooding!” We’ll get you
started with a bunch of rule sets, and you can share rules you create
with other Twine owners.”
