Information about the hot tub data
At the moment I only have three sensors working: one in the hot tub; one in the third solar panel (the last one before the water goes back into the hot tub); and finally the one inside the pipe that delivers the hot water from the solar panel back to the hot tub – water in sensore. There are two files to download – the easy one or the one that needs a bit of python coding to sort the date and time.

Sensor location is either:
- in the ‘hot tub’
- in the pipe that flows from the solar panel ‘water in’
- in the ‘solar panel’ unit

Note to convert python time back to GMT. Time intervals are floating-point numbers in units of seconds. Particular instants in time are expressed in seconds since 12:00am, January 1, 1970(epoch).
There is a popular time module available in Python which provides functions for working with times, and for converting between representations. The function time.time() returns the current system time in ticks since 12:00am, January 1, 1970(epoch).
