Your Device is already posting its data on Pachube ? Do you want to use Feeds of data available on Pachube ? Now we have made it possible to use these data Feeds on Open.Sen.se as if they were connected to our platform. This allows you to use the features, interfaces and Applications of Open.Sen.se with datastreams from Pachube.

Simply go to the Add a Device section and choose Add a Pachube connected Device. You will have to enter your Pachube Key (if you don’t have one, you will have to go and register on Pachube).

To select which Pachube datastream you want to add to your set of Devices on Sen.se you have two options. 

• Simply click on List environments and we will list all available public datastreams of all users. You will then be able to browse the list and select the one you want to add.
•  Enter search criteria: search for your own or a specific person’s datastreams by entering his username; limit the search to datastreams tagged with specific keywords; look for an environment whose ID you know.

No matter how easy we try to make it to connect a Device to Sen.se (see Automatically generate a Sketch to connect your Arduino for instance) it still takes some time. If you have gone into the hassle of connecting your Device somewhere else on the Internet, we’ll try to get the data from there. We believe that the Internet of Things is not about closed worlds but made of a large number of Device or Data hubs all talking to one another. Otherwise the word Internet in “Internet of Things” would be misleading.
