Ionic developer North McCormick utilized the Ionic framework to create innovative Internet of Things (IoT) projects, including an automated sprinkler system for his parents and a Daft Punk-inspired robot helmet. For the connected home platform, McCormick employed Parse for managing device lists and Electric Imp for WiFi connectivity, which allowed him to rapidly prototype and deploy an app that simplified his parents' sprinkler management. His second project involved designing a robot helmet using an Arduino with Bluetooth, enhanced by Ionic for quick app development, enabling interactive features like scrolling text. McCormick highlights the transformative potential of Ionic and Electric Imp for rapid prototyping and deployment, expressing interest in expanding into more IoT solutions such as home-platform devices.
