AdMobilize Announces MATRIX, Game-Changing Developer Platform That Lets You Build Smart Home Applications And More, In Minutes

Developers will now be able to develop and deploy IoT applications in minutes to create endless smart home and business solutions

MATRIX is an innovative operating system and small device that is revolutionizing the Internet of Things by launching a powerful platform that allows developers to easily create and deploy Internet of Things applications in minutes.

Currently, Internet of Things applications and devices take months, if not years to develop. To drastically cut this time down, developers are given every tool they need with the MATRIX OS; a simple developer platform and a MATRIX device with fifteen embedded sensors such as temperature, camera, and microphone. The sensors can be used as a starting point for developers when creating Internet of Things applications, instead of procuring the sensors themselves. Those who like tinkering can integrate peripherals like Z-Wave, Zigbee and IR as dongles to the MATRIX.

"As developers of cutting edge-technology, we believe in the creative power of developers to change the world. Today, there isn't a unified Internet of Things platform powered by a single device that allows the industry to reach its full potential; that’s why we created the MATRIX,” said Rodolfo Saccoman, CEO of AdMobilize. "We like to think that the convergence of the iPhone with brilliant app developers catapulted the mobile revolution. We are excited to work with developers globally to do the same for IoT.”

Creating and deploying applications for the Internet of Things using the MATRIX platform is easy for novice and advanced developers. By leveraging GoogleV8 JavaScript Node.js, developers build IoT apps using just seven lines of code. We combine access to powerful libraries, including computer vision, machine learning, and data processing, with an easy to use API and a robust SDK (including a CLI tool). For a quick overview of the MATRIX developer platform visit matrix.one.

Within the platform, developers find a dashboard to manage applications and utilize a command line interface to deploy apps. The platform also has the option to filter native data as well as view and edit raw data. Developers are able to quickly create applications that are able to turn the air conditioner off when someone gestures they are cold, or turn the lights off and lock all of the doors when there’s no motion for a certain amount of time. When developers use the tools available in the platform, the possibilities for Internet of Things applications are tangible and all-encompassing.

As an open source community, MATRIX encourages developers to provide feedback and ideas to further grow the community. MATRIX is currently funding on Kickstarter with rewards for developers starting at $249. To learn more about MATRIX and the development community being created, visit http://bit.ly/MATRIXOS.
