Hi guys!
It`s my first post here and I am glad to find this forum!
I am working with IoT (NodeMCU) and many projects involving IoT and chatbots are of the kind ‘control your home lights with chatbot’...Well, I do not want to control anything at all, but I would like to have a conversational interface which uses real-time data from my input sensors. A conversational platform who change its response accordingly with the data provided (temperature, or UV for example).
Do someone here can help informing me some good sources for reading?
I want to thank you very much in advance!

Definitely do’able. The way we did something similar was to have the chatbot (we used Chatscript, but approach would work for others) regularly poll the sensor over a web services interface to get the value, store that value, and then use that as a context value to change the output across a range of rules, or even the processing sequence in the control script, e.g. for the first

u: ($temp>30 how are you) Very angry!
u: ($temp<0 how are you) Pretty chilled!
u: (how are you) Bored

We in fact used this in conjunction with a Galvanic Skin Response sensor so that the bot could pick up how stressed you are and then moderate its responses accordingly.

A better solution would probably be to have the sensor push data to the bot through a web socket or other API that the bot can read on an internal call.

Hope that helps

Hey David, thanks a lot man!

You do not know how crazy I was expecting to hear that. Really made my Friday!

First I was thinking about implement it using Microsoft Bot Framework, since I also need to make my prototype understandable for Chinese users. But after your response, I am already searching more about ChatScript and discovered that there is some way to integrate it with Chinese.

I will find a good tutorial to have fun during the weekend and, if possible, update my progress here.

Thank you again, it was a big help an incentive. Have a nice day!

Glad to be of service
