You note "How: sensor syncs with phone app via Bluetooth"

Did you write this app custom? Are you selling the app? Any open-sources suggestions for a "concentrator app" like this?



I don't want to make money off of this. Rather, it's more of a service to other people. When I was in a dark place, a lot of amazing, beautiful, selfless people brought me into their lives and made me feel like a human again. I have trouble with the thought of selling anything.

I did write the iphone app but it is quite simply the worst fucking mess of code I have ever written. I wasn't doing very well in the brain when I wrote it and holy hell, it needs a lot of love. I just wanted to be able to dump raw numbers and work with them on my own, but somewhere along the lines, I became really really really dumb. I'll fix it and let you have it if you want. You can do whatever the heck you want with it.


I would love that! I'm happy to clean it up. I think the "concentration" is the worst problem in everything. There is so much sensor data around the house. Sometimes I use an RPI as a concentrator, but that obviously limits the audience.

A smartphone app (iphone or android) would at least reach half the world. If you have a github/etc link (now or later) for others to fork off, that would be awesome! You could post it on this thread.
