The cloudBit is an incredibly easy solution for creating internet-connected devices. Now, you can easily add internet functionality to anything! You can retrofit your thermostat to control it from afar or set up a sound-triggered alarm system that sends you text alerts. The possibilities are truly endless, and there's no need for programming, soldering, or wiring. Build amazing things like a DIY Nest, an SMS doorbell, and explore hundreds more ideas online. Connect your entire littleBits library to the internet and vice versa. Automate with IFTTT to link with web services such as Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter, or hardware like NEST and Phillips HUE. Control your circuits remotely, whether they're in the next room or across the globe. Customize further by coding with the cloud API or the littleBits Arduino module. This kit includes the cloudBit module, a USB power module, a USB Wall power-adapter and cable, and an instruction card. It does not come with any other 'Bits, so be sure to check out the full line of littleBits compatible with the cloudBit.
