This is a quickstart application for the mbed-connector-api-python package. The goal of this application is to get the user up and running, using the mbed-connector-python package and talking to devices through mbed Device Connector in under 5 min, 5 steps or less. The quickstart webapp is meant to be paired with the BLEClient_mbedDevConn and the BLE_Server_BME280. The quickstart web app will allow the user to see measured sensor value through Device Connector.
- A mbed connector account and have generated an API token
- A endpoint running the BLEClient_mbedDevConn
- A device running the BLE_Server_BME280 for BLE broadcasting data on field
- Install the required packages
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Put your API key into the app.py file, replace the following text
or set an evironment variable called
token = "Change Me" # replace with your API token
ACCESS_KEYwith the value of your API key - Run the
app.pyfile
python ./app.py- Open a web page to the web.py server. Usually http://localhost:8080 will work.
- Touch BME280 by finger to see temperature and humidity change on the web app.
- Modify : go checkout the API for the mbed-connector-api-python library and make your own applications!

Dont worry about that warning message, it is not applicable to this demo, but likewise the warning message cannot be disabled.
Make sure you added your Access Key to the app. You can do this by either changing the value of the token variable in the app.py file or by setting the ACCESS_KEY environment variable to your access key.
