I wanted to improve the way I display the status of my sensors and decided to venture away from a simple table with icons and check out HTML5 for a more graphical display.

There are still a few tweaks to added:

• Refreshing only the HTML canvas (drawings) rather than the whole page every 5 sec
• At the moment only the CCTV and Temperature are, I need to add buzzer control

But for a proof of concept, I’m rather happy with the outcome.
