Conrad Business Supplies has announced that it is working exclusively with the company relayr to support the development and launch of the innovative and groundbreaking Open Source 'Internet of Things' (IoT) starter kit known as WunderBar. The IoT starter kit together with the relayr Open Sensor Cloud platform allows software application developers to quickly and easily begin working on wireless applications and prototype building based on data gathered from the physical world without needing to learn about hardware. The platform includes software development kits (SDKs) for iOS, Android and Node.js.

The kit mimics the appearance of a chocolate bar with seven 'chunks' that can be broken off to provide a Wi-Fi-enabled master module with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), plus six detachable smart sensor mini-modules. Each module has BLE, a sensor or actuator, and an on-board battery. The mini-modules give functionality including light, colour, distance, temperature and humidity sensing, plus an accelerometer, a gyroscope and infra-red (IR) remote control capability. The WunderBar community of backers also chose a noise sensor to be included on the sixth module. Moreover the inclusion of a Grove connector from Seeed Studio on the fifth module enables a wide range of additional sensors and actuators that are Arduino compatible to be interfaced with the WunderBar platform.
