The ioBridge IO-204 is one of the first "Plug and Play" monitor device of its kind to be available on the market.The module is DHCP ready and provides instant-on monitoring and controlling of electrical signals. The IO-204 has 4 independently controlled I/O (input/output) channels for interfacing with your project.
ioBridge can control and monitor devices using web-based widgets and APIs, allowing users to have different ways to interact, access and control information from different internet platforms such as browsers, social networks or mobile devices.
ioBridge IO-204 module capabilities are extended by adding "smart boards"[1] to add serial communication(a micro controller such as arduino or basic stamp can be used), servo control or x10 control.
User projects using the ioBridge module have been featured on popular tech blogs such as Engadget[2] and Hackaday[3].The ioBridge module got great attention from the internet when it was used to create the first twittering toaster (wired.com)[4]. Popular Science[5] and Make Magazine[6] also wrote about using the ioBridge module to create the first 'Serv O’Beer'.
On 2009 ReadWriteWeb chose ioBridge IO-204 module as one of its Top 10 Internet of Things of 2009[7] and Ben Arnold from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) explains the possibilities of using ioBridge IO-204 under the GROWING THE CONNECTED HOME ECOSYSTEM section on the 5 Technology Trends to Watch - 2010[8] publication.
