Is real-time IoT data already a feature of Tethys or could it be included in upcoming version?

[swainn]

Hey @GanapatiN Tethys Platform does not have direct support for IoT as of yet, though I'm sure you could integrate it with 3rd party Python libraries. Any sort of IoT devices are you thinking of in particular that would be good for Tethys to support?

[ganapatinatarajan]

Sure Nathan. I'll look into that. I was thinking of sensors to measure basic water quality parameters like TDS, pH or soil moisture and temperature, for example. I think this functionality would add an extra dimension to the Tethys platform given the increasing availability and usage of low-cost sensors for both quantity and quality of environmental parameters (air, soil, water, etc). -- Regards, Ganapati

OGC has a standard called Sensor Observation Service (SOS) that may be applicable. 52*North has an implementation: https://52north.org/software/software-projects/sos/
