Does the indoorequal work for our case?

Hello, @francois2metz , my name is Arthur Salomão.

@isinho01 and I are students from the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), São Gonçalo do Amarante Campus, and @marmundo is in charge of our project. Our project develop an interactive indoor map of campus. Our goal is to provide information about the campus locations to users and staff, as well as to give to administrators full control over the building throughout indoor map.
One of the examples is we want to do with the map is when a user clicks on room 11, a pop-up will display information about the room. This information is provided by a IoT system developed by us. This information could include the presence of people in the room, whether the lights are on or off, the room's temperature, and other information and functionalities that will be added according to the demands of campus administrators.

We also wish to control devices remotely, such as turning the air conditioning on or off, controlling the building's lights, and opening or closing room doors.

So, François de Metz, we would like to know your opinion on using Indoorequal in the project. Do you think the tool is suitable for the project? Like create a layer over indoor map to show info and room controllers. If so, what advice would you give?

Hi @ArthurSalomaoo

Using the indoor= code as a framework is definitly possible:

• The server part is usable as this. It could be updated to match your room tagging: https://github.com/indoorequal/indoorequal
• The frontend must be updated to fetch the data from internal IoT system instead of the indoor data: https://github.com/indoorequal/indoorequal.org. You can also create your own frontend from scratch using only the indoor= map integration (mapbox-gl/openlayers).
