Introducing HP – a lightweight debugging tool for sensor data and IoT workflows

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on HP (Hookpool), a small but growing tool designed to make debugging sensor data and IoT integrations much easier.

:backhand_index_pointing_right: https://hookpool.com

If you’ve ever dealt with devices sending data via webhooks or HTTP callbacks, you know how painful it can be to:

  • understand what’s actually being received
  • debug malformed payloads
  • track issues across multiple devices

HP is built to simplify that workflow.


:wrench: What it does:

  • Generates endpoints to receive sensor data
  • Logs incoming requests in real time
  • Lets you inspect payloads (JSON, headers, etc.)
  • Helps debug device → server communication
  • Organizes events by project or device

:satellite_antenna: Why I built it:

While working with IoT devices and sensors, I found myself constantly switching between tools like request inspectors, logs, and custom scripts just to understand what was happening.

HP is an attempt to bring all of that into one place:

«a simple, focused tool for debugging and monitoring incoming data streams.»


:thought_balloon: Looking for feedback:

Since it’s still evolving, I’d really appreciate input from others working with:

  • IoT devices
  • sensor data pipelines
  • webhook-based systems

What would you expect from a tool like this?
What’s missing?
Would you actually use it in your workflow?

Thanks :raising_hands:
