Hi everyone, 

We’re really excited this month, because Espressif’s AIoT Cloud platform, ESP RainMaker, has been enhanced with “services”. This is a concept that allows users to extend ESP RainMaker without any changes required in the backend. We already have a few predefined “services”, such as “schedules”, OTA, “timezone”, etc., which are actively being used my many users, so let’s take a closer look into these features.

One important aspect of RainMaker is that the Cloud functions as an intermediary between the ESP nodes and clients, e.g. mobile phones, Alexa, GVA, etc. This makes ESP RainMaker both flexible and extensible, allowing users to create any type of device, with any kind of functionality, and access it from a phone app. There are some defaults that we have defined, but they are not mandatory, so users can create their own device/param types.
