ST BLE Sensor Classic vs IDA Cloud

The ST BLE Sensor Classic application is used in conjunction with an ST development board and firmware compatible with the BlueST protocol to give you access to all the sensor data, which you can log to different cloud providers, and to update the board firmware directly from a mobile device via the Bluetooth® Low Energy protocol. After discovery ST development board, the app shows you a list of available demos and you can navigate through them to discover the functionalities of your board. Demos can be related about environmental, cloud, audio, board configuration, machine learning and and many other functionalities. Cloud side, ST BLE Sensor can communicate with Microsoft Azure IoT Central, Aws IoT and ST Asset Tracking dashboard. The application is built on top of the BlueST SDK library implementing the BlueST protocol and helps you export the data easily via Bluetooth® Low Energy. The application also supports firmware library algorithms like motion-sensor data fusion, activity recognition and pedometer functionality. Both SDK and application source code are freely available at: https://github.com/STMicroelectronics

Ida Cloud is the companion mobile platform from BioLabIda, designed to connect your smart lab devices, experimental data, and team in one secure cloud workspace. From culture‑monitoring instruments to everyday consumables, Ida Cloud streamlines how modern biology, chemistry, and physics labs manage their work. Built for small devices and busy benches, Ida Cloud lets you see what’s happening in your lab at a glance—right from your iPhone. Manage your BioLabIda devices from anywhere Connect supported BioLabIda instruments (such as Pillar of Light™ (Pol) and other culture‑monitoring devices) to Ida Cloud and keep track of them in real time. Check device status, last‑seen timestamps, and battery level, and see which devices are shared within your organisation, so nothing gets lost or forgotten on the shelf. Turn experiments into organised datasets Ida Cloud automatically organises readings from your connected devices into shareable datasets. Search and filter by name or date range, review experiment status, and create new datasets as your work evolves. Your organisation’s data stays in one place, accessible to the people who need it. Run lab operations in one place Ida Cloud goes beyond data collection to support everyday lab workflows: - Organisation management – View organisation details, manage your lab’s domain, and keep an overview of all members and their roles. Invite new teammates with a tap. - Members & access – See who belongs to your organisation, including administrators and collaborators, so you can coordinate instrument sharing and data access. - Mall & consumables – Browse BioLabIda’s device ecosystem directly in the Mall tab. Explore products like Pillar of Light (Pol) and compatible consumables, then request a quote without leaving the app. - Shipping addresses – Store and manage shipping addresses for your lab so equipment and consumables reach the right bench, every time. Designed for real labs and real teams Ida Cloud is built for academic, biotech, and industrial research environments that rely on robust, repeatable measurements. - Clean, card‑based interface optimised for lab use - Organisation-centric design for group labs and core facilities - Account‑based sharing of devices and datasets between colleagues Secure sign‑in Sign in with your email, mobile number, one‑time passcode, or password, using an interface available in English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Your organisation’s data stays protected while remaining easy to reach from the lab, office, or home. Key Features - View all your BioLabIda devices in one place - Check device status, last‑seen time, and battery level - Create, search, and manage experimental datasets - Invite and manage organisation members and roles - Browse BioLabIda instruments and consumables in the in‑app Mall - Save and edit shipping addresses for easy ordering - Secure login with email, phone, OTP, or password Note: Ida Cloud requires a BioLabIda account.
