Pool Monitoring System
Status
• One of the three sensors used on this project, the temperature sensor, has been added to the code base for the arduino and is able to report the temperature of water.
• It is also able to format said temperature readings, format into a readable JSON file, and send POST requests to a remote server. The eventual plan is to have it send the data to an SQL database, but from further research it appears I will also need to set up an AWS ECS machine to receive and insert the data into the database.
• Once the temperature sensor is able to insert it’s readings to the database, I will begin adding the PH and ORP sensors to the codebase and begin work on a website so the data can be viewed anywhere.
Currently Planned Additional Features
• Possibly a mobile app that is able to also view the data from the SQL database.
• Setup email/text alerts when a reading is too high or low for a web/mobile user
• Adding an Alexa Skill that would allow a user to ask a particular reading
Kitchen Unit Conversion App
***Further work on the Kitchen Conversion App will be on hold until I have the other two sensors sending their data, and being able to insert into the database.***
Status
• Fractional Buttons are currently working and the user is also able to conduct conversions between different units as designed. The only conversion that does not currently work is when a user attempts to convert from fl oz to grams, a volume to mass conversion if you will.
• The Element Layout has been enhanced and will likely not see any major updates until I begin work on adding the Recipe Multiplier.
