IoTSimulator

This application operates in conjunction with the things web based application. The aim of this program is to simulate real life IoT devices.

GUI

Fetching data

When the program is turned on, it makes a GET request to the servers API endpoint requesting for a list of devices that are switched on.
GET /api/active_devices

[  
   {  
      "device_type":"Lightbulb",
      "id":2
   },
   {  
      "device_type":"Fridge",
      "id":4
   },
   {  
      "device_type":"Lightbulb",
      "id":9
   },
   {  
      "device_type":"Lightbulb",
      "id":10
   },
   {  
      "device_type":"Thermostat",
      "id":11
   },
   {  
      "device_type":"Smart Meter",
      "id":13
   }
]

Simulating data

The program will then create an array of devices based on the device type of each JSON object and it will periodically simulate data for each device type.
POST /api/simulate/
