Sensor Server

Stream phone's sensors to websocket clients
New in version 6.4.0
New Feature : Service Discovery Support
The app now supports Zero-configuration networking (Zeroconf/mDNS), enabling automatic server discovery on local networks. This feature eliminates the need for clients to hardcode IP addresses and port numbers when connecting to the WebSocket server. When enabled by the app user, the server broadcasts its presence on the network using the service type "_websocket._tcp", allowing clients to discover the server automatically. Clients can now implement servic
Android app which let you stream real-time sensor data from your phone to Websocket clients. Clients, including web browsers and other applications, are able to receive streamed data through the WebSocket client API.

To receive sensor data, Websocket client must connect to the app using following URL.

ws://[ip]:[port]/sensor/connect?type=[sensor type here]

Once connected, client will receive sensor data in JSON Array (float type values) through websocket.onMessage.
