Quick Start Guide

Get started with PhonePi Sensor Stream Pro in just four easy steps:

1

Download the App

Download PhonePi Sensor Stream Pro from Google Play Store on your Android device

Download
2

Set Up Server

Clone and run the open-source Python server on your computer or Raspberry Pi

Get Server
3

Connect

Make sure both devices are on same WiFi, then enter server's IP address in the app

4

Start Streaming

Select sensors to activate and start streaming data to your server

Sensor Stream App

Sensor Stream allows you to convert your phone into a complete sensor hub and stream real-time sensor information from your phone to the provided open source server over wifi/local network.

Important

Make sure you have given the app all the necessary access permissions (especially if you wish to use audio streaming/image streaming).

Sensor Stream Server

Fully customizable servers under MIT license that you can modify and use for your specific use case or use as an example to build your own. These servers use WebSocket support to accept sensor data and write it to a text file, providing a versatile foundation for your projects.

Setup Steps

  1. Get the code: Clone the repository or download the zip file
    git clone https://github.com/priyankark/SensorStreamServer.git
  2. Navigate to server directory
    cd SensorStreamServer/server
  3. Create a virtual environment (Optional but Recommended)
    python3 -m venv env && source env/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Run the server
    python3 server.py

Connecting App to Server

  1. Same Network: Ensure your phone and server are on the same WiFi.
  2. Find IP Address: Note the server's IP address shown in terminal.
  3. Connect: Enter the IP address with port (e.g., 192.168.1.24:5000) in the app.
  4. Start Streaming: Enable sensors you want to stream data from.
