Once upon a time, in a bustling metropolis, there was a smart city. This city was known for its forward-thinking initiatives and innovative technology but was not without challenges. One of the city’s most significant challenges was integrating the many smart city solutions implemented over the years.
The city had many sensors, devices, and platforms, all collecting data and providing valuable insights into the city’s operations. However, the data was often siloed and challenging to access, and the many dashboards used to manage the systems were confusing and overwhelming. On top of that, many of the systems were closed, proprietary solutions that did not play well with others.
The city needed a solution to help them manage all of these disparate systems from a single, centralized command center. That’s when they discovered Favoriot’s IoT platform.
At first, the city was skeptical. They had tried other solutions, and nothing seemed to work. But after speaking with the Favoriot team and learning about the platform’s open architecture and ease of use, they decided to try it.
It wasn’t long before the city saw results. With the Favoriot platform in place, they could connect all of their smart city solutions to a single dashboard. The data was now easily accessible, and the city’s managers could quickly identify trends and patterns in the data. They were also able to create custom dashboards for each department, giving them the specific data they needed to make informed decisions.
The city was thrilled with the results. Not only did the Favoriot platform make managing their smart city solutions easier, but it also saved them time and money. The platform’s open architecture meant they could easily integrate new systems as they came online, and they no longer had to worry about vendor lock-in with closed, proprietary solutions.
In the end, the city’s journey to find the right solution was challenging, but it was worth it. With Favoriot’s IoT platform, they could turn their disparate smart city solutions into a cohesive, integrated system that provided valuable insights and made their city a better place to live.
[Note: I hope you enjoyed the story of the smart city that struggled to integrate multiple smart city solutions until they found the Favoriot IoT platform.
This fictional story was created to illustrate the benefits of using an open IoT platform to manage multiple smart city solutions. However, the challenges smart cities face in executing these solutions’ complexity are genuine.
Suppose you are involved in managing a smart city. In that case, I hope this story resonates with you and provides inspiration for finding the right solution to manage your city’s technology infrastructure. The key takeaway from this story is that an open and easy-to-use platform can make a big difference in managing multiple smart city solutions and improving the quality of life for the citizens in your city.]

The Hibiscus Sense is an Internet of Things (IoT) development board powered by the mighty and popular dual-core ESP32 microcontroller, embedded with 3 sensors (APDS9960, BME280 & MPU6050) and 2 actuators (Buzzer & LED / RGB LED), makes it easy for you to kick start your awesome IoT project. Since the microcontroller is the mighty ESP32, this development board is compatible to be programmed using tools such as Arduino IDE (for Arduino programming language), Thonny IDE (Micropython programming language) or ESP-IDF (C, C++ programming language), simply use the latest USB Type-C to program the microcontroller, which has built-in USB-to-Serial converter (Silicon Labs CP2104) with automatic bootloader reset, so you don’t have to press the RESET button each time to upload the program into the microcontroller.
The ESP32 microcontroller comes with 4 MB of SPI Flash running at 240MHz, support both WiFi and BLE connectivity and also the ESP-NOW protocols, which develop by Espressif for low-power 2.4GHz wireless connectivity. The variety of connectivity gives you the freedom and flexibility to develop wireless sensor platform using Hibiscus Sense to be connected to other wireless connectivity such as the BLE on your smartphone, to visualise the data on the mobile app. It’s indeed perfect for your wireless or IoT projects.
Hibiscus sense comes with pre-assembled header makes it easy for you to plug the board on top of the breadboard or on the female header on your DIY PCB projects. There are plenty open GPIOs for you to work with digital inputs and outputs, analog inputs and outputs and multiple extra peripherals, such as UART the RX/TX, I2C and SPI.
Hibiscus Sense is the best board for those who work out for data science and data exploration, as it can easily generate real-time data from rich profusion of sensors on board. The sensors, enables you to sense the physical movement and environment around the board, which total of 13 parameters can be measured:
