Sensors to Webhook
Read full descriptionHide full description
Send data from your device's sensors back to your own server! This app allows you to use data from your device to power things like home automation, self-hosted reminders and to-do lists, and more. Supported sensors: location (GPS), motion, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer, heading, altitude, speed, course, battery, network. Choose an interval to send this data to your server and it runs in the background sending data on your configured interval. You will need to create your own server software to receive the webhooks, I recommend sending a request to a server that just logs out the request body to get a feel for the request format, which is in JSON.
