Use cases
If it reports numbers over a network, it fits.
Five shapes we designed for, written as example builds. We're in beta — when these become customer stories, we'll say whose.
Vehicle & asset tracking
A trailer, a generator, a tool crate. The device reports a fix as ordinary telemetry keys and its page draws the track — start marker, live position, hover readout — with no map-tile contract underneath.
Heartbeat alerts cover the case that actually matters: the asset that stopped reporting.

Features used
GPS tracks · heartbeat alerts · OTA
Irrigation & soil
Moisture per block, a few bytes a day, a season of battery between visits. Valve positions travel the other way as desired config the node confirms when it next wakes.
Because config converges rather than fires and forgets, a missed window doesn't silently leave a valve in the wrong state.

Features used
Config convergence · threshold alerts
Industrial machine monitoring
Vibration and temperature per motor at a rate that catches a bearing going bad. Rate-of-change alerts fire on the trend, not just the ceiling.
When something does go wrong, pull the device's compressed log buffer without sending anyone to the floor.

Water & utility metering
Endpoints sending very little, very reliably. Each meter owns its own object at the edge, so the cost of the ten-thousandth looks like the cost of the tenth.
Regulated retention? Point telemetry at your own line-protocol endpoint and the history accumulates there instead of here — we hold only the latest value of each key, which is what the dashboard and alerts read.

Smart parking & city infrastructure
Bay occupancy across a district, each sensor its own small object served from the edge nearest it. A pilot of five costs almost nothing, and growing it is the same architecture rather than a re-platform.
Public-sector procurement tends to ask who holds the data. The answer is in the licence and the code.
