WTHR MKR = Weather Maker

Weather for the Maker in all of us

Models

• Client: Connects to server and dispalys data ( View )
• Server: Pulls data from stations and stores it over time
• Station: provides interface to location based sensors
• Location: collection of sensors or sensor that is unique to a specific point of interest
• Sensor: device wich provides measurable data about the current weather conditions

Data

Data from a station might look like this

data = {"locations": 
  [
    { 
      "name": "kitchen", 
      data: [
        { "type": "temperature", "value": "85.2" },
        { "type": "humidity", "value": "62.0" },
        { "type": "wind_speed", "value": "0" }
      ]
    },
    { 
      "name": "patio", 
      data: [
        { "type": "temperature", "value": "90.2" },
        { "type": "humidity", "value": "72.0" },
        { "type": "wind_speed", "value": "10" }
      ]
    }
  ] 

Model Heirarchy

Sensor names must be unique

Sensor class would be abstract

Station Model
    |
    V
Location Model
    |
    V
[ Concrete Sensor..] <-- Abstract Sensor class
    |
    V
[ Concrete Service Model.. ] <-- Abstract Service class

Model Interfaces

Sation

• Has one or many Locations
• Returns data to the Server

Location

• groups related Sensors together
• fills requests for related data from the Station

Concrete Sensors

• implemention for specific hardware
• inherits from a common Abstract Sensor parent

Concrete Service

• implementation for specific measurment types ( temperature, wind speed, humidity )
• inherits from a common Abstract Service parent
