ABOUT

Thinger.io is an Open-source cloud-based IoT Platform developed by INTERNET OF THINGER SL, a Spanish company whose objective is to provide an efficient, consistent and easy to use technology for IoT.

History
Thinger.io Platform project started life in early 2015 despite firsts source code lines was made on 2014, as a side-project by Phd. Alvaro Luis Bustamante when he was working as researcher at the University Carlos III of Madrid (Spain), when he was studying different solutions to work online with cheap electronic devices, and he found that all the existent platforms were very difficult to use, unefficient or doesn't had enough capacities to create IoT projects in a simple way. 
"Why I have to select a compatible vendor hardware? Why I need to use an Operating System just for my toaster? Why my device must run a scripting language that burn the batteries? Why I have to rely on a specific vendor and its closed platform? These are some questions I made myself before starting to work in the thinger.io platform."
What began as a backend project to retrieve data and controlling devices in real-time,  quickly became a much more general tool that could be easily extended in any direction. In 2018 the project was turned into a loyalty-founded company and released an enterprise version of Thinger.io platform technology to provide professional support for IoT projects with the original vision of a perfect balance between simple but powerful technology.
