For the current issue of windows.developer magazine I wrote an article about building a custom IoT button, calling web services and APIs from it and visualizing those events.

The articles in windows.developer magazine are written in German, so apologies to my non-German-speaking friends and followers.

The article shows how to:

• Create a custom IoT button device from scratch from a hardware perspective.
• How to programming the IoT device using the Arduino IDE.
• Call Web APIs from the IoT device.
• Use the ThingSpeak platform to quickly visualize IoT data.

In case you're interested, here's a short teaser of the article, but even better: grab a copy of windows.developer and check out that article for yourself.

Also, make sure to check out my other writing in case your are interested.
