This webservice talks to a Pareto backend in order to make sense of the realtime data coming in from the beacons, more specifically accelerometer beacons. The data coming in is analyzed to make sense of the sittings habits one is following, and use it to notify via slack if one should get up or not.
As an architectural note, while the app is specific to the data model that Pareto provides, it is possible to change the notification endpoint from slack to something else like Discord.
webService: This is designed to read the pareto side in, transform it, store the data and notify via slack auth: This is used to install the sitsense slack app, and allow slash commands from within slack to work

Install MongoDB from here
-
Install NodeJS LTS from here

In MongoDB, create a database called sitsense along with 4 collections - beacons, reports, slacktokens, and timevaults
