Phase 1 Plan: Foundation & Kiosk UI Summary
One-Liner
Flask + SocketIO backend with real-time 7" touchscreen dashboard, settings, and calibration UI for rainfall station RTU
Objective Achieved
Successfully built the foundational Flask backend with real-time sensor data API and the 7" touchscreen kiosk UI (port 8080) displaying rainfall readings, voltage status, date/time, station ID, communication status, and software version. Included Settings and Calibration menus for configuration access.
Completed Requirements
Dashboard (DASH-01 through DASH-09)
DASH-01: Display rainfall readings (Today, Hourly, MAR, Yearly)
DASH-02: Display solar voltage
DASH-03: Display battery voltage with status indicator (HIGH/NORMAL/LOW)
DASH-04: Display current date and time (HH:MM:SS DD-MM-YYYY)
DASH-05: Display station ID
DASH-06: Display communication status (signal strength, connection)
DASH-07: Display software version
DASH-08: Real-time updates via Socket.IO (1-second interval)
DASH-09: Last updated timestamp indicator
User Interface (UI-01 through UI-03)
UI-01: Touch-optimized interface for 7" 1024x600 display
UI-02: Large touch targets (minimum 48px, primary 64px)
UI-03: Main menu navigation (Dashboard, Settings, Calibration)
