I am in the process of creating a dashboard for the Compost System. The version is still very much in the early stages, but will share what I have created to date:

The dashboard is written in HTML/Javascript, leveraging:

The data is stored in a SQLite database. The data is retrieved by making a http call to an php.file (see code in attachments section for details).

Right now, the actions are hard coded into the HTML; I am still in the process of writing the logic for determining when a particular action needs to take place. For example, if the temperature is low, but the ambient temperature is low as well, then we would want to wait 5-10 hours to determine if the temperature rises before asking the user to take more corrective actions (e.g. stirring the compost or adding more nitrogen-rich materials).
