Project

The aim of this project is to develop a “Internet of things” system in which computing devices can communicate between each other as well as responding to the environment and users. Initially the information about these communications and environment changes will get published on the public web available for users to monitor through a responsive user interface on the web application.

Our project is a web application that displays the weather according to the data measured by 3 different sensors spread out on two different Raspberry Pi’s. It also displays weather from 4 big cities in Sweden with the help of a weather api. With displaying the weather we mean that the weather is shown live on the website depending on the values fetched from the environment by the sensors. As a result if it rains, it rains on the website as well.
