blinker-iot/blinker-esp-idf
Blinker Esp Idf
This project is an IoT cloud integration SDK and C++ library designed to connect ESP32 hardware to a remote management service. It provides a communication bridge that enables real-time, bidirectional data exchange between embedded devices and remote clients.
The library utilizes a cloud-relay communication model and key-based device authentication to secure the connection between hardware and the cloud. It includes a dedicated provisioning tool for securely transferring wireless network credentials to devices during initial setup.
The framework integrates directly with the ESP-IDF development environment to manage hardware resources and wireless connectivity. It supports WebSocket server capabilities and asynchronous event handling to process network messages and hardware triggers.
