WebApps

We love how the good ole’ PHP and MYSQL tools, still at the base of much of what you see on the Internet, are a powerful set to build your web pages and web app. A great feature that will never go away is that, on the client side, any OS and hardware platform allows, through their web browsing capabilities, to run your apps, so you can use them on your PC, MAC, Linux system, Android, and iPhone.

To give an example, all COSO units are registered in our database, and the data they collect is available, by user assigned. Each user has an instance of the COSO Web Apps, for all their units. The web pages created are compatible with most browsers.

So, in the case of an iPhone, all you need is just to link the URL on your screen, and once clicked, you are basically running an App in the iOS ecosystem. Apple is so kind to let you customize the icon that will represent the App on the home screen, by just adding the following to your web page, as long as your image is 180×180 pixels:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="YourIconName.png"/>

The page above shows data coming from both COSO5s and COSO7s. Below is an example of what a COSO5 collects, which you get to by clicking on one of the images above:

Notice that the page allows direct interaction with the unit, to check status or turn the output on or off.
