# Conclusion

The ARM mbed IoT Device Platform is a very diverse set of tools, all aimed at making developing and managing IoT appliances easier. In this article we went over all the basics required to build connected devices, and how to address and manage these devices over the internet. There is more to mbed than what's in this article: we have connectivity methods for a variety of other standards, like [LoRa](https://docs.mbed.com/docs/lora-with-mbed/en/latest/intro-to-lora/), [Thread](https://docs.mbed.com/docs/arm-ipv66lowpan-stack/en/latest/thread_overview/) and [Bluetooth](https://docs.mbed.com/docs/ble-intros/en/latest/), and a complete set of security libraries to build more secure IoT applications with [uVisor](https://docs.mbed.com/docs/uvisor-and-uvisor-lib-documentation/en/latest/) and [mbed TLS](https://tls.mbed.org). mbed Cloud also has some more tricks up its sleeve, including services for [device management](https://cloud.mbed.com/product-overview) (like firmware updates over the air) and telemetry services. If you want more information, [let us know](https://cloud.mbed.com/contact).

If you want to continue iterating on the light system, a very good start would be to attach a brighter (or bigger) light source. [Neopixel LEDs](https://www.adafruit.com/category/168) can be sourced in a variety of forms (like LED strips) and are super bright - a great choice for your home or office. [Here's documentation](https://developer.mbed.org/components/NeoPixel-LED-chain-using-high-speed-SPI/) on how to use the Neopixel LEDs from mbed OS.

Happy hacking!
