http://dweet.io can give you a rest endpoint. It is very easy and open source
Thank you for the support!
Thank you for the follow up post!

We are back up and running! Please let us know what you think.
Apologies, server is getting crushed! We will be back up soon.
Great write up! We found many of the same issues as you did when we tried connecting devices, so we created dweet.io.
We are not a substitute for MQTT, but we made dweet to help you get your things online quickly and easily so you can concentrate on making apps. Standards take forever to hash out, so we made something that can get you going really quickly.
Have you had a chance to look into dweet? https://dweet.io is the homepage, so let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you again

Freeboard is in public beta right now and there is no charge. We will post price information soon, and we will always have a free option, like dweet.io.
All current functionality will remain free. New functionality that we end up building may fall into a paid category.
Hi, you can try it out directly from the freeboard.io website. Just click on Start Now right on the front page!
Understood. One of the great things about freeboard is that it is open source and you can change CSS, colors or anything you want on your own.
We appreciate the thought and will consider that. By the way, our examples are all live devices dweeting their data right now.
Thank you for the feedback Rich.
You can build your own widgets in Freeboard, and once completed, users can share new widgets directly with each other through GitHub. We are looking to build a marketplace of sorts as well, populated by the community, and curated for convenience.
Great point! Freeboard is great for humanizing a single device, or multiple datasources at a time, but when you get into 100s of thousands of devices, freeboard can be used to visualize an analytics engine.
By the way, you can use dweet.io to fill that database or analytics enginge to your hearts desire. Then use freeboard to see what is happening in that database!
Hey, this is awesome. Would you mind if we sent a tweet about what you did and link to that code? Any chance you might be interested in writing a guest blog on how you connected?
Our only use-case was ridiculously simple. I don't think CoAP or MQTT fit into that use-case, however at some point, yes we will add other protocols. Thank you.
Correct, it's not RESTifarian. It's HAPIfarian! :)
Thank you for the kind words. Please let us know how you fare.
We certainly would. Please let us know what you are thinking. Thank you.
Awesome! Please let us know it goes. Thank you.
Today we are launching dweet.io, an amazing IOT utility. We are giving it away for free, so please try it. Thank you!
