The rwatch ecosystem is a set of crates that handle data meant to be monitored.
A use case of this ecosystem could be monitoring a garden with various sensors and then trigger actions action based on the data harvested such as start watering the plants or warn user about a possible incoming drought.
The crates can be divided into two categories: data aggregator and data producer/consumer which use a connector to interact with an aggregator.
Data aggregator includes the following crates:
- 'rwatch-core': a binary that aggregates data from producers and distribute data wanted by consumers. It can also trigger alarms based on thresholds that are customizable via configuration file.
Data producers/consumers are known as plug-ins, it contains the following crates:
- 'data-generator': produce either data based on user-inputs or generate random data. Its main purpose is to help developer to work on
rwatch-core. - 'data-display' : (yet to be implemented) a HTTP server that can display various data or alarms status in a browser.
- 'physical-sensor': (yet to be implemented) produce data based on value fetched from a physical sensor. It can be used to produce record related to temperature or air moisture. This crate is meant to be embedded in small devices.
