[PYTHON] I installed the IoT platform "Rimotte"

What is Limotte?

Rimotte is an All-In-One platform for always-on apps like the IoT. Use it by using a "station" that is installed and used on Windows, and a web browser that runs on Android, iOS, Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc. It can be used not only for IoT but also for apps that are used without being connected to the Internet, and apps such as measurement, monitoring, automation, and AI can be easily realized. In general, IoT is often realized by combining multiple services, and it tends to take a lot of time to select the technology to be used and the learning cost tends to be high. In Limotte, all the functions such as server, database, communication, execution management, and maintenance necessary to realize the application are included in the station, and the operation / setting, screen creation, program development environment, etc. are unified. It is implemented in the user interface. This provides an environment where you can do what you want, even if you don't know much about your specialty.
