This document discusses CouchDB and a project called sensmon that uses CouchDB to store sensor data from an Arduino. Key points:
- Motokazu Nishimura introduces CouchDB and its features like JavaScript and JSON support.
- The sensmon project collects data from an Arduino's sensors and stores it in CouchDB using HTTP POST requests.
- Data is visualized from CouchDB views using the Flot library to plot temperature over time.
- A related project, sensmon-calendar, uses CouchDB map/reduce to summarize temperature data by day.
