I am experimenting with my Blackberry Z10, Simple Link Sensor Tag and Node-Red on my laptop. Once I have configured the Sensor Tag Node with its MAC address , I started receiving notification in the debug window. The MAC address was easily obtained from my application on the Blackberry. So now I have set my threshold for Ambient Temperature for 18.0 C. Anything equal to this or above this should send a warning message to the debug window. I can also setup Twitter or Email notifications if the threshold has been exceeded.

For this testing stage I have my Blackberry connected to the sensor tag and sending sensor data to IBM Bluemix Cloud. This is only phase 1. I need to replace the smart phone with an IoT gateway and build a mesh network using Xbee modules to meet that goal of distance. Before that I would like to test email notification if a defined threshold has been reached. The Ambient Temperature in my room is about 18.2 C
