In this chapter, we created another Internet of Things project using the web service Temboo. Based on Temboo, we built two exciting applications. The first one was to automatically log measurements inside a Google Docs spreadsheet.

Then, we set up the different accounts that were needed for the project. We first created a spreadsheet...
