Create the backend to support a system for sending and receiving text messages between the phones and sensors at home via the cloud.

The text messages with questions sent from the phone are analysed with Natural Language Processing algorithm, and return a text message to the sender depending on context e.g. on temperature, light level, etc.

1. Testing temperature: Text "What is the temperature?". The phone will receive a message like @23.6432636.

2. Testing light level: Text "Is the light on?". The phone will receive a message like "The light is on!".

3. If the light level is very bright, the phone will receive a message like "Light Sensor senses a high light level! It is at 700!"
