After using the Arduino microcontroller platform for several weeks, I figured that there was no established method of transferring data from Arduino sensors to other software and hardware systems remotely. By using the established and well-known JSON data format, along with the blazing fast Firebase backend technology, I have devised a simple and elegant method of solving this problem. In fact, any hardware or software system that can send data in JSON format can theoretically be compatible with any receiving system that accepts JSON formatted data. This is a simple, elegant and general-purpose infrastructure for data transfer aimed at hobbyist and enthusiast microcontroller developers. The possibilities of this infrastructure can be used to create Arduino project setups for home security, remotely keeping tabs on resources or occupational hazards, and many other possibilities. The Arduino Relay infrastructure is planned to become an open standard that hardware and software enthusiasts can use for many of their own projects.
