Although one dollar may not get you much these days, it is enough to make an IoT device using the all-new ATtiny104. Take an IoT lamp, for example. In this case, the tinyAVR sends a signal to AM radio, which is relayed to a receiver hidden beneath the table, triggering the LED light.
A user can then simply turn the light on or off with the ATtiny104. At same time, the signal is transmitted to the Atmel | SMART SAM W25, which links it to the cloud. Once connected, a user can see whether their lamp is on and off.
What’s also nice is that the code running on the device boasts extremely low memory usage — only 700 bytes. With four different power modes, the device consumes minimal energy. This enables its CR2032 battery to last anywhere from six to seven years.
