IoT Hackathon 2014


For the first time in the history of the IoT conference there was a Hackathon included in the program. The goal was to create the greatest “Internet of Things”-related products within just a little over 24 hours. The conference itself was established in 2008 and is leading in the field of Internet of Things.

The participants of the hackathon had the opportunity to work with products of doghunter (Linino™ ONE including Bluetooth and USB modules), SmartThings (SmartThings Kit) and dizmo (Interface of Things).
