Many companies have designed their own Bluetooth beacon mostly to find objects such as your keys or pets. Puck.js is also a Bluetooth 4.2 LE beacon, but has many more features including compatibility with the upcoming Bluetooth 5.0 standard, and some GPIOs programmable with JavaScript (Espruino implementation), and corresponding visual programming editor.
Puck.js beacon supports Google’s Eddystone and Apple’s iBeacon to advertise itself to other devices, as well as Web Bluetooth

Node.js Vs MicroPython for IoT
Here are the major differences between Node.js and MicroPython for IoT.Node.js 1- Node.js built to handle asynchronous I/O from the ground up that make it good choice for IoT.2-Dependency resolution with npm is so much better. Although if you have to develop and run the code in both Windows and Linux in rare cases you may see some quirks.3- Right now there are two new micro-controller boards seeking funding for Node.js - one on Kickstarter ( Espruino), and the other on Dragon Innovation’s new crowdfunding platform(Tessel ).4-...
Node.js - Ideal choice for IoT
There has been a lot of talk lately about the rising popularity of Node.js, but no one expected it would grow this quickly. Built on Google’s V8 open source JavaScript engine, Node.js is known for its speed, scalability and efficiency—making it great for developing data-intensive, real-time applications, that of course, makes Node.js well-suited for the IoT, which is reliant on data-intensive, real-time devices and applications.Devices within the IoT, such as sensors and wearables, generate large floods of requests. Node.js...
Internet Of Things - Impact on our life style and wealth
The Internet of Things is a growing network of everyday objects from industrial machines to consumer goods that can share information and complete tasks while you are busy making other plan. Our Bikes, our homes, our audio system and even our city streets will be connected to the Internet, creating a network of objects that is called the Internet of Things, or IoT for short.
The IoT is creating a new world, a quantifiable and measurable world, made up of millions of sensors and devices that generate incessant streams...
