Monitoring sensor data from a cloud dashboard
In this recipe, we will be looking at how to use a graphical interface to monitor the data logged by the ESP8266. One of the main reasons why sensor data is posted online is so that you can easily monitor the data over time. This is facilitated by cloud dashboards that take the posted data and convert it to meaningful graphical presentations. The graphical presentations guide us in the decisions and actions we take pertaining to the system that is being monitored. We will use dweet.io and freeboard.io to demonstrate how cloud dashboards work.
