    IoT Data and Communications Services

A brief compendium of services for IoT, including notes about the services.
Platforms


Xively - it is no more (swallowed by cloud.google.com)
Thinger
Adafruit IO
data.sparkfun.com - an ex-parrot

    some hardware platforms I find interesting


Raspberry Pi - popular Linux SBCs, and now some really cool microcontrollers
MESH — drop-in DIY IoT components
Particle — Connected prototyping for wifi and cell-based products
Hologram — similar to Particle
Electric Imp — Connected device platform, with modules and services; part of Twilio now
Intel Edison — Tiny x86-class board dead and buried
C.H.I.P — $9 computing platform seems to be gone now
bluz — BLE boards, compatible with Particle Cloud
Digistump Oak — ESP8266-based Wifi board, compatible with Particle Cloud

    A Grab Bag of Network Protocols Relating to IoT

In no particular order (yet), here's a bunch of network protocols that can be involved in IoT. They are at various levels in the stack.
Yes, these are all over the place; this list is a braindump for now. I'll organize this material and add notes later.

MQTT
ANT Protocol & ANT+
HTTP/HTTPS
WiFi
Bluetooth 2.1
Bluetooth LE
2G/3G/4G/LTE
LoRaWAN
LPWAN (class of protocols, really)
TCP/IP
UDP
ZigBee
CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol)
6LoWPAN (IETF working group)
AMQP
XMPP
SSDP
UNB (ultra narrow band)

    MQTT Brokers


Mosquitto.org — open test broker at test.moquito.org
shiftr.io - cloud MQTT instances, plus a nifty desktop and CLI broker
HiveMQ — broker at broker.hivemq.com
Eclipse.org IoT — broker at iot.eclipse.org
Adafruit IO — private broker (requires auth) at io.adafruit.com
Amazon AWS IoT
Azure IoT Hub
