Part 4. Your Personal Dashboard

Go to Initial State and check out your new bucket entitled ":smiling_imp: Electric Imp + Env Tail".

The script only takes measurements every 5 minutes, so it'll be a little bit before you have a lot of data to look at, but after running for about an hour and a half I had a dashboard that looked like this: impdashboard

Pretty neat, huh? Well another cool thing about the Electric Imp is that during those 5 minutes it actually puts itself to sleep to conserve power! It's also very good at handling the WiFi connection.

And don't forget - with the Electric Imp IDE you can change your device's code on the fly, even if it's at home and you're at work!

But did I really need to give you another reason to like the Imp after that light-programming, BlinkUp black magic?
