IOTExplorer vs Poddi

IOTExplorer — Zero-Configuration IoT Device Discovery for iOS & iPadOS Instantly discover and manage every IO-TEQ device on your network from your iPhone or iPad. IOTExplorer uses intelligent UDP broadcast scanning to find devices the moment they come online — no manual setup, no IP addresses to remember, no configuration files to maintain. Whether you're checking a few sensors in the field or managing an IoT fleet on the go, IOTExplorer gives you a mobile-first experience purpose-built for iOS and iPadOS. REAL-TIME DISCOVERY & MONITORING IOTExplorer continuously scans your local network, detecting devices as they appear, tracking IP changes, monitoring firmware versions, and reporting online/offline status in real time. Reachability is determined by subnet — so you always know which devices are on your network. TWO VIEW MODES • Grid — Card-based layout for quick visual scanning  • List — Sortable, filterable list for fast device lookup BUILT-IN NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS No need to switch to another app. IOTExplorer includes tools right inside:  • Ping with latency results  • Port scanner for TCP connectivity (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, Modbus)  • Reachability test for instant connectivity checks DEVICE MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION • Favorites for quick access to frequently used devices  • Find Me to physically locate devices with visual/audio indicators  • Temporary IP assignment for field configuration  • Network configuration (IP, subnet, gateway, DHCP) for supported devices  • Device history — chronological log of discovery, updates, disappearances, and network changes OPTIMIZED FOR IPAD On iPad, IOTExplorer uses a split-view layout: device list on the left, detail panel on the right. Multi-column grids and adaptive layouts make it easy to work with many devices on a larger screen. DEEP iOS INTEGRATION IOTExplorer is built with SwiftUI and feels right at home on your device:  • Native tab navigation (Discover, Favorites, History)  • Pull-to-refresh for manual discovery refresh  • Search and filter by device type  • System, Light, and Dark mode support  • Local Network permission for discovery SUPPORTS 11 IO-TEQ DEVICE FAMILIES IOT-PCM, IOT-AT, SPX5-MODBUS, IOT-DI-600, IOT-DURO-1, IOT-eqOS, IOT-IPS-GTW, IOT-IPS-ANCHOR, IOT-BB, IOT-EIO, and IOT-IRIS — each with tailored actions and capabilities (Find Me, Temp IP, Web, Net Config where supported).

Lost your earbuds in the couch cushions again? Can't find your Bluetooth headphones? Poddi turns your iPhone into a precision finder for any nearby wireless device — earbuds, trackers, headphones, speakers, smartwatches, and more. No signup. No account. Free scanning. Premium adds the live radar that actually leads you to it. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap to Scan Poddi instantly detects every Bluetooth device around you and sorts them by signal strength — strongest first. 2. Lock On with Live Radar Pick your device and watch the signal pulse in real time. Walk slowly and the signal climbs as you get closer. Sound and vibration alerts get more intense the closer you are. 3. Find It Tap "I Found It" and you're done. Poddi remembers the last-seen location on a map, so next time you have a head start. FEATURES • Live RSSI signal-strength radar — pulses in real time as you move • Save your devices — favorites tracked across sessions • Last-seen location on a map — see where each device was last detected • Sound + vibration alerts — louder beeps and stronger haptics as the signal grows • Near / Far proximity hints • Beautiful, minimal interface — built natively for iOS • Dark mode • 8 languages — English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian WORKS WITH Poddi works with virtually any Bluetooth Low Energy device, including AirPods, Beats, Galaxy Buds, JBL, Bose, Sony WH-series, fitness bands, smartwatches, and Bluetooth speakers. AirPods is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Poddi is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Apple Inc. HOW IT FINDS DEVICES Poddi guides you closer using Bluetooth signal strength (RSSI). It is signal-based, not GPS-based — perfect for finding devices in a room, but it doesn't pinpoint exact coordinates. The closer you get, the stronger the signal and the louder the alerts. Devices that aren't broadcasting (such as AirPods inside a closed charging case, or devices that are powered off or out of battery) cannot be detected. Bluetooth range typically extends about 10 meters / 30 feet. PODDI+ PREMIUM Poddi+ unlocks the live radar and unlimited scanning. Start with a 3-day free trial. • Subscription length: 1 week • Free trial: 3 days • Auto-renewable subscription • Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings Payment is charged to your Apple ID at the end of the free trial.
