About this app

**This is not a weather forecasting app**

Ever wondered how warm it actually is outside right now? What the hottest day of the year has been so far?... or how cold "it's freezing!" really is? – well now you can find out easily!

This proof of concept app provides real-time independent weather data for the Isle of Man and specifically the metrics of temperature (°C) and relative humidity (%). Designed to capture and display data, it is not meant as a weather forecasting app although this feature and the other measurements required for this may be added in the future. Data is currently updated every 30 minutes with previous readings available to allow trend analysis and visual data plotting in various graphical formats.

The data stream was born on 5th July 2018 and therefore data is only available from then onward. Temperature data is recorded to an accuracy of ±0.5°C with relative humidity to ±4.5%. All data is recorded in the West of the island and is independent of and not designed to replace the data of the Isle of Man Met Office.

This app will only currently function for residents of the UK, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, France, Spain and Portugal.

Technical Proof of Concept:

1. Made utilising iBeacon technology and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

2. Bespoke iBeacon temperature/humidity sensors in West of island transmit data via BLE.

3. Bespoke custom built gateways receive and collect incoming BLE signals from the sensors.

4. A bespoke script loops round reading, translating and entering these signals into a SQL database.

5. A custom built Android front-end app (this app) displays the collected data in a variety of user-friendly formats.


Potential Uses:

- Temperature/humidity monitoring of warehousing, fridges, freezers, storage, bedrooms, medication, weather etc
