## Description

blinker-js is an IoT device communication framework and Node.js library designed to manage bidirectional data exchange between embedded hardware and remote servers or local networks. It functions as an MQTT hardware integration tool that links single-board computers to IoT clouds for remote management and control.

The project provides a virtual device widget manager to synchronize hardware state with cloud-based user interface components. This system allows for the mapping of remote UI identifiers to internal software logic, enabling remote IoT control through virtual buttons and input fields.

The framework supports both cloud-based communication via the MQTT protocol and direct local network device communication over shared wireless connections. It includes capabilities for listening to device events and managing bidirectional data streams to trigger hardware actions.
