IOT with Espert
summary
An Arduino‑compatible ESP8266 board called Espresso Lite V2 is built as a cheap Wi‑Fi dev board plus app and cloud — an ABC model: app, board, cloud — aimed to democratize IoT. A two‑person startup (three including first employee) hand‑prototypes and ships a few hundred units, fixes a required manual‑reset issue in V2 with a PCB reroute, partners with Cyron for manufacture, and experiments with AR virtual buttons to replace physical inputs. Cites a government stat that ~97% of people don’t yet engage with IoT.
