With the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution, new devices are wirelessly connected to the home network and to the cloud. However, ‘headless’ devices with no keypads or touchscreens – including garage door openers, home appliances, lights, thermostats and treadmills – can be complicated to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
Texas Instruments offers developers a solution to these challenges with its latest SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3000 module. The self-contained device features unique SmartConfig technology, a Wi-Fi configuration process developed by TI that allows multiple in-home devices without displays to connect to a Wi-Fi network via a smartphone or tablet, in just one easy step.
The CC3000 module now also supports service discovery applications on phones, tablets and PCs using Bonjour zero-configuration networking technology, making it easier for consumers to quickly identify and manage networked devices. The SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3000 module is compatible with low-cost, low-memory microcontroller (MCU) systems, such as TI’s MSP430 family.
The solution supports cloud server connection over HTTP via a built-in TCP/IP stack, and enables remote device control via mobile app or website. Push/pull of sensor data, monitoring and control are possible via TI cloud service partners and other providers. iOS and Android sample applications are available.
