Read full descriptionHide full description
CoThings accounts for the current number of people using shared areas like the kitchen or utilities like washing machines, dryers in realtime, using iBeacons as optional. You can use iBeacons for counters. It will automatically update the status of the rooms even the application is not running. The application needs a server to run, if you're a developer you can host the server by yourself easily. Please follow up the documentation on our website: https://cothings.app/code If you don't want to deal with a server, you can contact us, we can setup one for your community or business. However, still you can try the application with our Demo Server to see how is it look like. Give it a try! CoThings is totally open source, respects your privacy, use it freely! You can find more about the app in Settings -> About
