In this chapter, we created another Internet of Things project using the web service Temboo. Based on Temboo, we built two exciting applications. The first one was to automatically log measurements inside a Google Docs spreadsheet. Compared to the approach we took in the previous chapter, the advantage here is clearly that Google Docs is the widely used standard to create and share spreadsheets. You can access your data from anywhere just by using a web browser, and you can also plot the data and share it easily with your friends and family.

We also built an exciting application where we interfaced our project with Gmail via Temboo. We built an automated e-mail alert system based on the measured data.

Let's see what the major takeaways of this chapter were. First, we built the hardware of the project, with the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor on top of the Arduino Ethernet shield.

Then, we set up the different accounts that were needed for the project. We first created a spreadsheet...
