What it does
HomeSense is a web application designed to view all of a user's registered groups and sensors. The application portal allows you to view a log of all activated sensors and our algorithm recommends other sensor states and displays them in the portal.
How I built it
The website is built on Django, a Python framework. The database behind the application is a sqlite3 database, with two models: a Group and a Sensor, where a group "has many" sensors.
Challenges I ran into
- Authenticating the website so that only users can view their registered groups and sensors.
- Finding an intelligent way to get up-to-date information from the webhook.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
- We are proud of the speed and flow for creating a new group, and creating sensors assigned to the group
- We are also proud of the real time log stream on the index page.
What I learned
- The A6 platform (how to debug, test, and fix issues with the api flow)
- Webhooks
What's next for HomeSense
- Built a cross device compatible React.JS app for Android and iOS to query the RESTful endpoints our application provides so that other devices can register
- We would like to have a machine learning algorithms (for example decision tree or naive Bayes) underneath the recommender systems. The rules for the recommender system will be trained from the previous sensor data patterns.
