Particle

aid: particle
name: Particle
description: Particle is an integrated IoT Platform-as-a-Service that provides cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth hardware modules
  alongside a comprehensive cloud platform for building and managing connected devices at scale. The Particle Device Cloud
  exposes a REST API that enables developers to call device functions, read variables, publish and subscribe to events, manage
  firmware OTA updates, and administer product fleets. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens, and the platform supports
  JavaScript, iOS, Android, and Windows SDKs as well as a command-line interface. Particle's pricing model is based on Data
  Operations consumed per month, with plans ranging from a free prototyping tier through paid block-based plans to enterprise
  contracts.
