A Web Based IoT Solution For Monitoring Data
A Web Based IoT Solution For Monitoring Data
Heđi, 2016) is a paper proposing a web-based Internet of Things (IoT) solution designed for
monitoring, analyzing and tracking moisture and temperature values in the agriculture area,
specifically in the process of agricultural drying. The presented solution aims to enable
monitoring of the manufacturing process using the Internet of Things technologies and to send
data from sensors to end-users reliably using MQTT protocol. Message Queuing Telemetry
exchange data between users and the server. The said protocol is one of the most commonly used
protocols in IoT projects because of its small size, minimized data packets, low power usage, and
it is easy to implement.
The paper also mentions that any IoT object can either send or receive telemetry data as
an MQTT client. Possibly, any microcontroller device up to the server. Depending on whether
maximize the capability of the protocol, the MQTT client must first connect to a messaging
server, then confirm whether he is a publisher or subscriber. The MQTT client is possible even in
small computers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi that is connected to a wireless connection with a
library. MQTT libraries are available to different programming platforms and languages like C,
The collected data from sensors serves as an input and is stored and displayed on the
web.
