About IoT using Dfinity

That’s very interesting, I haven’t thought before about using wasm on microcontroller, I guess writing a bootloader too accept the wasm is the biggest challenge, but the use case seems to be a good fit for the tech. Thanks!

Right, thanks for bringing this up - in my previous post I focused only on

IoT -request-> IC
  ^--response--| 

and have completely forgotten about the other use case, where the cloud sends a request to the IoT to control it. I’m happy to tell you that soon the feature will land, which will enable you to send GET/POST HTTP(s) requests from the canister to the internet. You’ll find all the details here. Please be advised the solution will not work for controlling nuclear fusion reactor :slight_smile: - the delays in communication will be too long for any use case where subsecond time resolution is required.
