QBits (Lutron Challenge)

Inspiration

Smart environments have always been fascinating to us, and the opportunity to work with them was too good to give up

What it does

QBits queries data from occupancy sensors in a building and uses that data to provide graph-based analytics on occupancy and energy consumption

How we built it

We used android studio for the frontend and a Nodejs/Cloudant server on Bluemix for the backend

Challenges we ran into

Setting up the node server was difficult, and querying for JSON in Android studio was quite challenging

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Setting up a functional web server, having an app that looks really good

What we learned

More JavaScript than we ever thought we could know.

What's next for QBits (Lutron Challenge)

We may continue building out the app and attempt to do everything set forth in the challenge
