Flask Server for IoT Data Handling

Developed by Mukoma Mpashi

This Flask server serves as an intermediary for handling IoT sensor data and controlling a pump connected to an IoT hub. The server communicates with a Firebase Realtime Database and receives sensor data from the hub, allowing control of the pump status.
