Play with Octoblu and Meshblu (SkyNet.im) IoT platforms in Chrome
Nodeblu Application
Nodeblu is Octoblu's fork of the popular NodeRED application from IBM. Since our app is deployed as a Chrome extension, we decided to add extra local features such as speech recognition and text-to-speech, a WebRTC webcam, HTML5 notifications, access to ChromeDB, a gamepad controller, and access to local and remote Arduino and Spark devices via our Microblu OS.
You can run your Nodeblu flows on our servers by signing up for an Octoblu account today!
