If you have an idea for an IoT project that uses Remote Control IR commands or Sensor data then these eCog Snap Packs might be right up your alley.

The Sensor eCog Snap Pack pairs with the Arduino Mini Pro (Clone) GadgetBox and lets you connect any of the sensors from the popular 37-in-1 Sensor Kits to make a nice looking Sensor based IoT device. Starting at $11 for the GadgetBox and $10 for the Sensor Snap Pack for a total of $21 is a heck of a deal for an enclosure, battery charger, esp8266 wifi, and sensor eCog.

The Remote Control eCog Snap Pack pairs with the Arduino Mini Pro (Clone) GadgetBox to give you full IoT control over your Remote Control devices. Learn IR commands and blast them back out with the dual IR transmitter and make your IR devices controllable with web services, phone apps, or Home Automation controllers. Starting at $15 for the Remote Control Snap pack and $11 for the Gadgetbox for a total of $26 for an IR gateway.

We are taking pre-orders now and hope to have everything shipping by the end of November. Be the first to check out the GadgetBox hardware and let us know if this is an idea that is worth pursuing. We are doing a limited run of 50-100 of these devices to see if there is enough interest to continue developing more eCogs and GadgetBox options. We need your help to get this idea off the ground...

If there is enough interest we will proceed with the following GadgeBoxes that we are currently testing:

• Teensy 3.2 and LC
• NodeMCU
• Raspberry Pi
• ESP32 (If we can get our hands on one!)
• GR8 C.H.I.P Pro (waiting for one to arrive still)

Thank you for checking out this GadgetBox idea, we appreciate all help and feedback.
