Esp32 Kaa Iot Arduino Platform

The Buildstorm platform simplifies the integration of Kaa IoT core features onto ESP32 Hardware, from basic IoT pub/sub functionalities to advanced features like commands and OTA updates.

The architecture is based on the core IDF APIs, complemented by a C++ wrapper tailored for application use, guaranteeing non-blocking operation of all APIs. Each user action, including HTTP requests, MQTT publishing, Shadow updates, and OTA, is logged as an event and seamlessly managed in the background. To maintain this seamless operation, the platform effectively runs a system task.

This establishes a robust foundation for your upcoming IoT project.

Supported Kaa IoT features:

1. MQTT pub/sub
2. Telemetry updates
3. Metadata management
4. Command processing
5. OTA firmware updates
