Relayr Wins CODE_n With Internet of Things ‘WunderBar’

relayr of Berlin is the winner of this year’s CODE_n Award. This was announced by CODE_n’s jury at CeBIT in Hanover. The young company impressed the judges with its business model that paves the way into the Internet of Things for app developers.

Their flagship product “WunderBar” looks like a bar of chocolate but is packed with cutting-edge sensor technology. The various sensors measure such things as temperature, humidity or movement and can be broken off like chunks of chocolate and attached to physical objects.

This enables software developers – without any knowledge of electrical engineering – to design applications for smartphones which can access and analyse the measured data; such as an app that controls the temperature of the wine cellar or the humidity level of the domestic greenhouse.
