## What it is
Blinker is an IoT solution library for embedded hardware such as Arduino, ESP8266, and ESP32, providing device-side connectivity via WiFi, WebSocket, MQTT, and BLE to a companion app and cloud services. It simplifies building IoT projects like smart home devices and data monitoring.

## Use cases
- control esp32 devices from a phone app
- build a smart home project with arduino
- monitor sensor data over wifi
- connect esp8266 to mqtt broker
- control hardware over ble from mobile
- build iot projects without writing a server

## When to choose
- you want a beginner-friendly all-in-one IoT stack for Arduino/ESP hardware
- you need app + cloud + device connectivity out of the box
- you want MQTT, WebSocket, and BLE support in one library

## When to avoid
- you need a fully self-hosted, cloud-free IoT solution
- you target non-Arduino embedded platforms
- you require industrial-grade reliability or certification

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: iot, websocket, message-queue, sdk, developer-tools
- domain: iot, embedded-systems
- platform: embedded, iot, cpp
- tags: arduino, esp32, esp8266, mqtt, ble, wifi, smart-home, embedded-hardware, chinese-docs, automation
