Hi Devilicious,

you'll need to build an application that will receive the requests sent by your device and, well, store them into the DB. First of all you need to find out how your device makes the server requests.
Is it a http POST or GET request, what are the parameter names it sends the data in etc..

This information should be readily availabe in the devices documentation. If your stuck with no documentation inquire with the manufacturer. Can you tell us exactly what device this is you're trying to use?

Cheers

Manfred
