How does this compare to what Tuya offers as well as Amazon's and Microsoft's IoT device solution? To me, it seems like higher level interface to ready made commercial devices that you can then perhaps plumb back into a building management system or something.
- __sy__ 3y agoThat's a pretty accurate take. Amazon/Azure's IoT solutions are intended for device manufacturers who need to move data back-and-forth between devices and cloud infra. We don't play at all in this space, but a friend of ours, Jonathan Berry, has a company doing exactly that (https://golioth.io/ https://golioth.io/). Many hardware manufacturers need help/tools to connect their devices and some very interesting companies will be built in that part of the stack. Tuya is trickier to explain. It's... a lot of different things, really. It can be just a firmware + cloud if that's what you want (see countless devices on Alibaba with Tuya built-in). It can also be an entire white-labeled device that you can brand to whatever you'd like. They'll even give you a mobile app to go with it. Seam is much higher up the stack for now. We mostly focus on device cloud integrations and occasionally a few on-prem systems.
