What it is

Datacake is an IoT platform that turns sensor data into live dashboards, alerts, and reports. Its monitoring use cases include cold chains, temperature and humidity, indoor air quality, soil moisture, and industrial noise. Users can build real-time dashboards without coding and set thresholds and rules that send alerts by email, SMS, or webhook. Datacake lists more than 400 LoRaWAN device templates across over 125 manufacturers, with payload decoders and dashboards. Every plan includes its managed LoRaWAN Network Server, with unlimited gateways and no per-gateway fees. Data can be streamed to other systems through MQTT, HTTPS webhooks, and a REST API. Native iOS and Android apps support dashboards, device onboarding, alert creation, and push notifications. Its OpenAI-powered assistant can analyze sensor data and help create dashboards, rules, and decoders; changes require confirmation. White-label branding and multi-tenancy are offered for system integrators, distributors, and OEMs. The free plan supports five devices. Hobby costs €25 a month and covers up to 25 devices, with one year of retention.
