Sorry, busy.

When I initially tried to use IFTTT with the Adafruit IO, I ran into some issues. For some reason the board was not connecting to the app so when I was trying to pick the specific feed, it ended up giving a “No Options Found” error. But eventually realized it was an issue in my code in the Arduino board which caused there to be an error.

When I got it to work I made it so that if the Data counter was equal or less than 1, then I would respond with a pre-written message “I’ll text you in a bit, I’m busy”.

A networked artwork that I found very inspiring was the “Living Light”. It exists in Seoul, South Korea and was developed by  Soo-in Yang and David Benjamin. Every 15 minutes, the neighborhood panels light up in order of best air quality to worst based on 27 real-time sensors provided by the Korean Ministry of Environment. Neighborhoods are also illuminated if the air quality is better on that particular day than the same time last year and individuals can text message in to check pollution data and see their interaction show up on the map.
