Connected Devices/Projects/SensorWeb

SensorWeb wants to advance Mozilla’s mission to promote the open web when it evolves to the physical world. It aims to find the easiest path from sensors to open data so contributors can collaboratively use sensors to get great detail of understanding their living environment. We are launching a pilot project to build a crowdsourcing pm2.5 sensor network.

We picked one use case to be our pilot project and would like to invite everyone who shares the same passion to contribute, whether you are a developer, a blogger, or simply want to help. If you would like to participate, you can get in touch with our connected devices participation team immediately, or contact our development team below.

Project overview

SensorWeb is a blueprint to enable many hyper local uses cases and make sure everyone gets to access that data. It can be the real-time air quality of their neighboring street, the current wait time at their favorite cafe, water quality from rivers close to the village, etc.

Today, we all use the web to access information generated by people. SensorWeb envisions a future of web that everyone freely shares and accesses real-time sensor data for better understanding of our living environment. Contributors can find a problem they want to solve with sensors and easily publish the sensor data on the web as they do with the web pages today. When a web user searches for information online, they will be presented with the relevant real-time data published by a sensor, or insights from analyzing hundreds or thousands of sensor data.

Source and Issue Tracking

• Github: mozilla-sensorweb
  • We are primarily using Github issues for our day-to-day work.
• JIRA (limited access)
  • We are also using JIRA for some documentation of user stories and test cases. This instance is not yet open for public access but all of the work to satisfy the user stories here will be reflected in the Github issues above.

How to contribute

The team is currently working on our Phase 2 prototype to be delivered in December 2016. We will publish a list of development hardware soon for those who are interested in working with us. Please join us in IRC or send a note to Dylan Oliver if you'd like to get involved.
