Wio Link is an ESP8266 based open-source, Wi-Fi solution to simplify IoT development by virtualizing plug-n-play modules to Web of Things. With the help of Wio Link, You can build up your IoT applications with only 3 steps in 5 minutes!
The traditional methodology of building IoT applications is very challenging, which often consists of electronic engineering, micro-controller programming, network programming, IoT protocols handling and application development. Every step involves various hardware and software knowledge. And this time, Wio Link has redefined a new way to create IoT applications. No hardware programming. No breadboard. No jumper wires. No soldering.
*By now, hardware becomes the new software, and Wio Link is the IoT „SDK“ for programmer.*
