SERVER CODING

Python
this is the main server code which when run through vps will send messages when needed
from boltiot import Bolt, Sms #Import Sms and Bolt class  from boltiot library 

import bolt, json, time # accesing the json and time function 

 Maxlimit= 10 # the distance between device and garbage in dustbin in cm
  

mybolt = Bolt(bolt.API, bolt.ID) #Create object to fetch data 

sms = Sms(bolt.SID, bolt.AUTH, bolt.TO, bolt.FROM) #Create object to send SMS 

response = mybolt.serialRead('13')# we are now receiving the data read at the 13th pin of arduino board 

print(response) 

  

while True: 

    response = mybolt.serialRead('13')  #Fetching the value from Arduino 13th pin 

    data = json.loads(response)#storing the value received to the bolt from arduino 

    glevel = data['value'].rstrip()#storing the integer part  

    print("Garbage level is", glevel) 

     

     if (int(glevel) <= Maxlimit or int(glevel)==357): 

         response = sms.send_sms('Hello  I am full,please clean me out, location') #sending the sms to your mobile number 

    time.sleep(2.5)#time between two consecutive readings in seconds

bolt

Python
this is a python file which has all the credentials for bolt to access the cloud as well as access your twilio account via API
 API = "bolt cloud api" 

 ID  = "device" 

 # Credentials required to send SMS 

SID = 'your twillio account sid' 

AUTH = 'your twillio account auth token' 

FROM = 'your twillio number' 

TO =' your number to get alert sms, please dont forget to add your country  code in the beginning of your phone number '

# SAVE IT IN A SEPARATE FILE CALL bolt.py and then we can acces this file in the main code by importing it
