#32898 Hi all,

Last days I am trying to choose a cloud platform for uploading sensor data and getting graphs. I have seen and tried a lot but I am not yet satisfied with the results.

Some of my requirements:
- easy arduino ide coding
- viewable on mobile
- viewable on web
- keeping historical data
- configurable UI (you must be able to choose the sensors you visualize and if possible make your own dashboard)
- support buttons and other elements for operating devices remotely
- find resources on web

I have tried
- IBM Bluemix -> too complicated for me
- Blynk -> very nice platform but still limited in possibilities (like no historical data on iphone and also not viewable on web)


I have also tried
- iot-playground.com
- devicehub.net - cant find how to use it
- sparkfun.com
- easyIot.com
- thinger.io
