Using Parse for IoT to Create an Order Button
- doomspork 11y agoThe title led me to believe that Amazon had teamed up with Parse for this which I would have found surprising. This has nothing to do with Amazon Dash other than using a button trigger an HTTP request.
- PanMan 11y agoThe interesting part of the Dash isn't the backend (something that can handle API calls), but the hardware, and how cheap they can make it.
- Animats 11y agoTrue. They've also found the killer app for the Internet of Things - having devices order their own refills. Coming soon to Whirlpool washers and (scarily) Brother printers. "Creates a direct connection between your wallet and our bank account."
- icebraining 11y agoA direct connection between my wallet and bank account? How so? If anything, that's what my debit card does :)
- icebraining 11y agoAs I mentioned in the other thread, the ESP8266 is a Wifi chip that you can buy for $5/each on an order of 1, and can run custom code, so you'd only need one of those plus a case, battery and button. You could probably build a button for less than $10, without even ordering large quantities.
- oasisbob 11y agoDon't forget your power regulation.
- joezydeco 11y agoSpark has some interesting stuff in this area. $19 for the upcoming Photon board, and $39 for the cellular-connected Electron. https://store.spark.io/ https://store.spark.io/ Arduino seems like overkill here.
