Pybytes

Pybytes is an open-source IoT platform designed to simplify the deployment and management of Python-based microcontrollers. It facilitates the connection of devices, such as those based on the ESP32 microcontroller, to the cloud, enabling remote monitoring, control, and data collection. The platform provides a web-based interface for users to provision devices, deploy code, and visualize data streams. Pybytes also offers features for over-the-air (OTA) updates, allowing firmware to be updated remotely without physical access to the device. This is particularly useful for managing fleets of IoT devices in diverse locations. The system is built around a communication protocol that enables efficient data transfer between devices and the cloud. Developers can leverage Pybytes to build custom IoT applications, integrating sensor data, actuators, and other peripherals. The open-source nature of Pybytes encourages community contribution and allows for customization to meet specific project requirements. It aims to lower the barrier to entry for creating and managing connected embedded systems by abstracting away much of the complexity associated with cloud connectivity and device management.
