This is just to show how the electric imp device can be used as wifi relay for sending sensor data to the cloud. I am currently using Xively, but planning to find somewhere else.
@ Gus - thanks for promoting my mini showcase to a real one, I am honored.
Let me just emphasize that the electric imp is a fascinating small microcontroller with wifi builtin in a clever form factor.
The primary reason for using it is battery, as this sensor-board can run a week on 4 batteries if you use it wisely. I did not need real sockets, only some data with a 5-10 minute interval - a perfect fit. And not least, I needed all my Cerberus boards to be able to be on the network.
I have attached a IDE screenshot where you can see the agent code (server side in the cloud, always running code), device code (only running when the imp is on and not sleeping) and the log (eternal and stored on the server).
@ HughB - yes, it’s a new IDE. You can ask to participate in the beta dev program to get access to it. When I pinged the Imp guys about working with Gadgeteer hardware, they we’re jazzed and signed me right up. They do know about your module, so I’m sure will roll out the red carpet
