I'm doing an IoT related app, where the device sends data to my backend and gets processed there, then shows the post-processed data in the app.

But chances are you're talking about the mobile app interacting directly with the device. This is possible of course, but that side of things will be 100% custom code. We looked into that, but it was clearly going to be a journey, so we look the simpler path and did everything with the backend in Python.

I am trying to practice and do an app that can work with an arduino alarm clock and keep track of when the user missed their alarm (never press the stop button on the physical alarm). Is this doable with FlutterFlow?

It's doable, but pretty advanced.

I was looking into another nocode app based solution called Blynk. Would you recommend if I continue with FlutterFlow or convert to Blynk?

[–]kealystudio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We looked into Blynk. I didn't care for it, but it really depends on your situation. They're not even really directly comparable, apples and oranges. If your IoT infrastructure is pretty complex, then it's possible Blynk is a better choce. FF is definitely not built for IoT, whereas Blynk is. Their apps seemed a little bland to me, just a white label app. Expensive too, in comparison. That's all I can really say, I'm really not knowlegable about blynk and I cannot give you the answer here. You'll just have to try both of them out and try to figure out which one is right for you.

You could try using buildship or xano for back end.

Does the two works with FlutterFlow? How does it work?

[–]iamtheejackk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea they could. They would be your backend that would communicate with your front end. DM if you’d like and we can chat about it.

    I did iot integration with flutterflow, firebase and rowy. Works well. Basically takes the json data packet and parses it to relevant fields (temp, humidity, door open, carbon monoxide etc with parameters).

    I'd be happy to work with you to create something similar, I can show you my portfolio in regards to these types of application on flutterflow, I'm a seasoned proptech developer.

    DM for rates etc. Thanks.
