Show HN: An API that resolves conflicting IoT device state in 47ms

https://www.signalcend.com
1•TylerArrows•1h ago
I built this after watching the same bug surface in three different IoT projects: a device sends "offline" then "online" 200ms later, they arrive out of order, and your system marks a live device dead.

The naive fix is a timestamp check. But timestamps lie — clock drift, late-arriving packets, firmware bugs. So I built a multi-signal arbitration engine that weighs event arrival time, signal strength, sequence continuity, and timestamp plausibility together before committing to a resolved state.

You POST your raw device payload to /v1/sign, then /v1/resolve. You get back a single authoritative state, a confidence score (0.50–1.0), a recommended_action enum (ACT / CONFIRM / LOG_ONLY), and a full arbitration trace showing exactly why it resolved the way it did.

The demo works right now with no signup — just grab the demo key from the landing page and fire a request. Happy to answer any questions about the arbitration logic.

The race condition between disconnect and reconnect events is one of the nastiest bugs in IoT — device sends offline then online milliseconds later, they arrive out of order, and your system marks a live device dead. Timestamp checks help but clock drift makes them unreliable. Curious how others are handling this at scale.

The arbitration trace is the part I'm most proud of — every resolution returns exactly which signals were used and why, so it's fully auditable. No black box decisions.
