Sensor Spot

Sensor Spot is an open-source Android application for sending live device sensor readings to an MQTT broker. It is intended for users who need to connect information from an Android device with IoT projects, dashboards, or real-time analytics. The app works with selectable sensors, including examples such as the accelerometer and gyroscope. It streams the resulting data as it is produced by the device.

Users can choose which available sensors to use for a publishing session. Sensor Spot provides settings for the MQTT server address, port, credentials, topics, and quality of service. These options let the app be configured for different MQTT broker setups without changing the purpose of the application. After configuration, the app publishes the selected sensor readings to the specified MQTT topics.

The Android platform makes Sensor Spot suitable for using built-in mobile sensors as a source of data in connected systems. Its placement in the Internet & Browsers category reflects its role in transmitting device information over an internet-based messaging system. The open-source license allows the product to be used as software whose source is available under that license, while the supplied facts do not specify additional license terms.

MirrorNest distributes the official Sensor Spot build directly from its own storage. Before publishing, MirrorNest scans the mirrored build for malware. This gives Android users a catalog download path while keeping the distributed file tied to the official build.
