Three win Digi-Key/Publitek IoT competition

Silicon Labs and Digi-Key have announced the three winners of the “Your IoT Connected World” design contest.

They are:

• Christian Klemetsson, who designed his “DeviceRadio” industrial automation solution to connect the real world to applications through virtual wires specifically within the industrial automation market. The goal of this product design is to deliver a custom IoT device on a solderless breadboard and controlled through the Internet in three minutes or less.

• Hoang Nhu, who developed a platform for extending the IoT through all parts of the home, from medication reminders to smart power plugs. The Apple HomeKit SmartHome and Wellness IoT Development Platform monitors home environments/energy consumption and daily activities to optimize home appliance settings as well as make recommendations and reminders for optimal wellness.

• Ekawahyu Susilo who developed “Snappy,” a modular robotics platform designed to help teachers engage students through science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. Snappy can be used for a variety of science project applications such as determining altitude with water bottle rockets, measuring collision impact in physics experiments, and building a simple local/Internet-connected weather station with humidity and temperature sensors.

Digi-Key supplied $10,000 worth of Silicon Labs components to each winner.
