About PhonePi Sensor Streamer APK
Table Of Contents
Description
A short Note: A Pro version of this app was released on user request in May 2018. It can be accessed at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phonepiplus&hl=en_USWhile both versions are suitable for use, the Pro version lets you choose the data format (CSV or JSON), timestamps each data point and has more robust support for all sensors.
It also streams userId field which is useful in a situation where multiple users stream information to a single server. The userId could then be used as a filter to distinguish between the users allowing you to do fun stuff like track the positions and chart out the movement of the users (for example).
Usage Details for this app: https://github.com/priyankark/PhonePi_SampleServer
(Please download the server from the above link and follow instructions in the README or follow instructions as outlined below)
PhonePi allows you to stream real-time data from sensors on your phone: Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Orientation, Step Counter, Thermometer, Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Geolocation (Subject to availability on your device) to a WebSockets supporting server on your RaspberryPi.
You can choose to build your own server to get the data or clone and use the server at https://github.com/priyankark/PhonePi_SampleServer
Assuming you are using the sample server:
Ensure that your RaspberryPi and phone are on the same network. Note the IP address of your RaspberryPi. Run the server on your Raspi (Steps are in the repository's README.md)
The URL in the app needs to be entered in the format:
ip_address_of_Raspi:5000
Enter update time for the required sensors that is the duration after which the data must be re-read and hit the switch. To disable, simply turn the switch off.
Multiple sensor data can be read at once (subject to the availability of the sensors on your device). This project makes use of WebSockets for the transfer of data. The server writes the data into a txt file but one can modify the server code to do whatever python allows them to :)

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
