Telemetry (Live Data)

One of the benefits of using a smartphone to log the data is it’s internet connection. With the exception of some tracks with poor signal, this provides an excellent opportunity to get the logged data back to the rest of the team in near real time.

The app provides three different ways to send data out.

eChook Private Live Data

This is our own in house system available at data.echook.uk. Each car has a login, only people with that login can see your data. This is a free service provided by eChook to anyone using the app - it can also be used with custom hardware so long as it sends the correct data to the app (See Bluetooth Communication section).

dweet.io (Discontinued)

Unfortunately as of the start of 2025 the dweet.io servers have been shut down and the service discontinued. There is no direct replacement for this, however if you used dweet for the node-red integration, there is a solution using the eChook live data server - see the Node Red Integration page for more details.

Custom URL

You can enter a URL, username and password into the app and it will send data to your server in the format of:

https://username:[e-mail]/../{Stringified JSON}
