SEVENSTAX' iEmbedded Control is a Framework for easily and fast development of smartphone applications for the Internet of Things and is made for device manufacturers. This app brings a configurable user interface for a fast adaption to the own corporate identity. Furthermore there are several modules integrated which should not be missing in smartphone apps for device controlling: - Device Finder to autmatically find your devices in the network - User Management for configuration of users and passwords - network cnfiguration - wifi configuration to setup your wifi controller Device specific dialogs can be added fast and easily as webresources. App development based on web technologies allows a fast and easy implementation. So a device specific app for prototypes is made extremly fast. Just license iEmbedded Control from SEVENSTAX and get the whole project as a source code package. With this package it is very easy to compile smartphone applications for different smartphone systems. Get your own app in the app store within just a few steps. Reduce your time-to-market dramatically. There are already many microcontroller- and wifi-module-evaluation solutions with SEVENSTAX IoT Framework which allow to connect with iEmbedded Control for demonstration purpose.

With the ST Asset Tracking app, you can configure and set-up the threshold of Asset Tracking Bluetooth Low Energy device and NFC Sensor. The app communicates with the FP-ATR-BLE1, FP-SNS-SMARTAG1, FP-SNS-SMARTAG2, FP-ATR-ASTRA1 functional packs firmware running on an STM32 microcontroller, which manages the specific environmental and motion sensor data logging activity. The app also supports Astra board that has NFC and short / long range connectivity (BLE, LoRa, and 2.4 GHz and sub 1-GHz proprietary protocols). The app lets you change sampling intervals, choose which sensor data is logged, and the conditions that trigger data logging. Once configured, the app is starting to track the position, environmental and motion sensors and allows the user to send recorded data to the ST AWS dashboard. The data collected on dashboard can be consulted through charts and filtered through time intervals up to 7 days before. For more information, visit the ST Asset Tracking web pages on www.st.com .
