FIG. 26 illustrates an exemplary primary dashboard user interface 2600 for Sensing as a Service Platform and Web Application in accordance with one or more embodiments. The Sensing as a Service can be implemented as a web application for a web browser, a desktop application, a smartphone (e.g., iOS, Android, Symbian OS, or other OS) app, or any other software platform. The user interface can display all linked devices 2602 within left column. Users can switch between viewing detail information by clicking on device name listed vertically in the left column. Sensor alert level indicator 2602 is displayed to the left of device name. Selected device name and current calculated device location 2604 is displayed within the detail information pane. Module network connection, Bluetooth connection indicator, battery life level and device preferences control button are listed in top header 2606.

Individual sensor metrics (2608, 2610, 2612, 2614, 2616, 2618) are displayed in a grid interface below the selected sensor pane 2620. A dynamic graphical diagram, alert threshold settings, and additional detail information are available for each sensor metric when user clicks on sensor metric block.

The temperature sensor block 2608 displays current temperature level, the value change from previous reading, and the 24-hour high and low values. The sensor block also displays current alert state, shown in this example by a color alert indicator. Clicking on temperature detail 2608 initiates a change in selected sensor pane 2620.
