Abstract— Due to increasing inhabitants in metropolitan areas These devices can interact and communicate with others
as well as ru ral areas requires an acceptable condition of services over the Internet, and they can be remotely monitored and
and the basic physical and organizational structu res. It becomes controlled. The IoT model intends to make the Internet even
necessary to monitor the real-time weather condition of one place more determined and allows us to mon itor and to know vital
from another place. At the same time the measu rement of the air changes in our environ ment through the devices that include
quality is also shows an important parameter to the environment.
For measuring these parameters IoT plays an important role sensing, processing and transmitting the data to the cloud
through the help of sensor networks encompassing our which stores the data and analyzes the data. Moreover, by

broadens the reach of connectivity much beyond phones and of devices such as surveillance cameras, ho me appliances,
computers to virtually any entity that has a chip and a data lines monitoring sensors and so on, the IoT is executed for the
interface. IoT assembles data from electronic sensors. This growth of applications that makes use of the massive
system is designed to transmit the generated data and stored in amount and the data created by such objects provide
cloud so that the information can be analyzed in different services. This technique locates application in many
applications. This paper shows the real-time monitoring of different areas, such as mobile healthcare, ho me auto mation,
temperatu re, humidity and air quality using the Internet of
