Open-Source Low-Cost Internet of Things Platform for Buildings

Internet of Things (IOT) systems are becoming a popular concept of every smart system. Many people intend to develop various IOT systems which could be smart socket can be controlled remotely and tracking the electricity consumption to save energy or a security system for home which combines several sensors and cover a big area. The goal of this thesis was to introduce a method to construct an IOT system that can monitor different parameters. The design of this project also focused on wireless interaction in order to make the system more perceptual. The design of the system was modified several times which include a changing from using Ethernet to Wi-Fi. Ultimately, it provides an effective method for monitoring a building system which could be the temperature, humidity, photo intensity, or the movement of objects, etc. The final design fulfills the fundamental goals and there is a visualization web page for the IOT system which both includes a real time data monitoring and a real time charting. This thesis will give a thorough overview of how to build an own IOT system.
