Online thermometer with local backup

Introduction

We use AM2302 (wired DHT22) temperature-humidity sensor with Raspberry Pi. Pi is set up to measure temperature and humidity every $N$ minutes (perhaps 5min), and the is securely sent to online web server if possible. If not, the will be saved to local database and transferred when RPi is online.

The data is visualized using D3.js library with zoom and pan. The current location of RPi can be changed online, and the location is shown on the visualization page.
