About Hardware, IoT & Devices
Hardware sits on a different part of the chart from software. There are components to source, firmware to settle and a device that has to survive a courier, a kitchen shelf or a factory floor. This category gathers the products and businesses that put something tangible, or something tangible's connective tissue, into the world.
Four subcategories divide the waters: consumer gadgets, smart home, IoT platforms and robotics. Each page lists the products in that stretch, with filters to narrow the view. Listings appear newest first by default, and you can re-sort by community votes, which can never be bought. Founders who want a device charted here can start at /submit, where a draft profile is built from the product's own website and checked by hand before anything goes live. Every listing has one main category, included free, so choose the heading that best describes what the product does for its buyer.

Hardware, IoT & Devices: questions answered
- What kinds of products belong in Hardware, IoT & Devices?
- Anything where a physical device, or the platform that connects and manages devices, is central to the offer. That covers gadgets, connected home equipment, device management software and robots. A pure app with no hardware element usually belongs in a software category.
- How do I choose between smart home and IoT platforms?
- Ask who the buyer is. Smart home products are aimed at households, who want devices that work together in a living space. IoT platforms serve builders and businesses who need to connect, monitor and update fleets of devices. If both apply, pick the one matching your main customer.
- Can a hardware product appear in more than one category?
- Yes. Each listing has one main category, chosen at submission and included free. A paid upgrade adds up to 3 more categories for $5, which suits a device that straddles, say, robotics and consumer gadgets.
- How are products ordered on these pages?
- Newest listings appear first by default. Visitors can sort by community votes instead. Votes cannot be bought, so the vote order reflects genuine interest rather than spend. Filters on each page help you narrow the list further.
- What should I check when comparing hardware products?
- Look at how the device connects, what happens to it after purchase, such as updates and support, and what the listing says about setup and compatibility. Compare the founder's own description closely, since a hardware profile should be specific about what is in the box.
