At the heart of the IoT are web services that allow interaction with physical devices. In this chapter, we will explore the use of web services for the purposes of displaying sensory data from our Raspberry Pi. We will also look into Twilio, a text messaging service, and how we can use this service to send ourselves a text message from our Raspberry Pi.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Publishing sensory data to cloud-based services
- Setting up an account for text message transmission
