From accessible learning hardware to energy monitors and office automation, these published projects show real ways people have used Dataplicity to reach a Linux device, expose a local service, and keep useful hardware accessible after it leaves the workbench.
Customer and community projects
Every example below links to the maker's own write-up, an organisation's documentation, or a Dataplicity-published video. We describe only the Dataplicity use that those sources document.

Accessible learning hardware · Remote monitoring
Thinkerbell Labs' connected braille learning device is featured in a Dataplicity video about making remote monitoring of IoT devices faster and more efficient.

Energy monitoring · Remote support
OpenEnergyMonitor documents Dataplicity for remote SSH and HTTP access to emonPi and emonBase, including Wormhole access to the Emoncms interface.

Office automation · Exposed device service
KI labs connected a Raspberry Pi and relay to an office intercom. A Slack command called a service on the device through Dataplicity Wormhole to open the door.

Sensors · Remote shell and web access
Writer Johnathan Powell used Remote Shell to run temperature and motion-sensor code, then Wormhole to publish a small browser dashboard from the device.

Home automation · Secure endpoint
This published build joined Google Home, IFTTT, Node-RED, MQTT, and a local Raspberry Pi. Dataplicity Wormhole provided the HTTPS endpoint into the device.

Physical computing · Remote action
The Lane Tech project used a Raspberry Pi, relay, and Dataplicity Custom Actions to unlock a building door remotely, with a connected camera workflow for visitor pictures.
Explore the Hackster build →The hardware and scale vary, but the operational pattern is consistent:
Those same foundations support the wider connected-product lifecycle: prepare repeatable deployments, organise devices into fleets, monitor deployed systems, and support customer devices without a VPN.
About the evidence
These projects were published independently. Each linked source describes its use of Dataplicity; check the source for current project instructions. Inclusion records the project example rather than a commercial endorsement.
