So far in this chapter, we have seen IFTTT and ThingSpeak in action, as well as how to integrate them with our Raspberry Pi. We saw how to use IFTTT to create simple workflows and how we can visualize data with ThingSpeak – two very different ideas, but nonetheless, they are both IoT platforms.
Both these platforms are immensely powerful and offer a wide range of features and possibilities beyond what we can cover in a single chapter, so I do encourage you to seek out their documentation and examples to advance your learning.
There are many other IoT platforms, applications, and frameworks that are available. This section will provide a short, curated list based on my experience. They all fit in nicely with this book's Python- and Raspberry Pi-based themes.
