Showing sensor data results over the internet

Having objects connected to the internet will allow you to access their data from anywhere that has a connection to that network.

This is why we gave our project the ability to become a web server and thus be able to access the state of the plant pot from any web browser.

For this project, access can only be from our Wi-Fi network. To test its operation, we are going to access the developed web app from any mobile or desktop web browser. Proceed as follows:

  1. Open a web browser and go to the IP address of our server (see Figure 10.12). You should see our landing page to monitor our plant pot, as shown in the following screenshot:
    Figure 10.13 – Web app landing page

    Figure 10.13 – Web app landing page

  2. On the landing page, you can simply press the button every time you want to measure the humidity of the plant pot. If the soil is dry, we will see a representative image and a legend stating Soil is too dry, as illustrated in the following screenshot:
