How to test a Sensor monitoring web application

[ashok277]

Hi

 

 I am new to PHP

 

I am creating a web application which shows status of some sensors and controls some switches based on it.

I do not have real sensors with me. How can I make another application which will simulate the sensors also receives the control commands from my applications and displays the command(in the test application)

 

Can I make the test application also in PHP? Can I run my app and test app in two different browsers in same computer and test it?

How can I manage the connection between them?

 

 

Regards

Ashok
