EXPERIMENT: 06

Study of IOT cloud platform thing speak cloud

Aim: To explore cloud platforms, emphasizing ThingSpeak for IoT data management and real-
time analysis.

Theory: An Internet of Things platform is a middleware that connects user applications with
remote devices. Basically, it’s any software that meets the following criteria:

 Predictability. It performs a clear and defined task in a predictable manner.


 Compatibility. It’s universal and supports various types of devices.
 Adaptability. It’s open and flexible for use in diverse solutions.
IoT Cloud Platforms:
1. AWS IoT Core (Amazon Web Services)
 Features: Device management, secure connectivity, and integration with AWS services
like Lambda, S3, and DynamoDB.
 Best For: Scalability and enterprise applications.
 Use Case Examples: Smart homes, industrial IoT, fleet management.
2. Microsoft Azure IoT Hub
 Features: Device provisioning, security, analytics, and integration with Azure cloud
services.
 Best For: Enterprises leveraging Microsoft's ecosystem.
 Use Case Examples: Predictive maintenance, energy monitoring, and connected
healthcare.
3. Google Cloud IoT Core
 Features: Real-time data processing, machine learning integration with TensorFlow, and
global device connectivity.
 Best For: Advanced analytics and machine learning.
 Use Case Examples: Smart agriculture, logistics, and predictive maintenance.

4. IBM Watson IoT


 Features: AI-driven analytics, device lifecycle management, and robust security features.
 Best For: AI-powered IoT solutions.
 Use Case Examples: Connected cars, industrial automation, and energy efficiency.
5. Cisco IoT
 Features: Networking and connectivity, edge computing, and cybersecurity for IoT.
 Best For: Secure and scalable IoT deployments.
 Use Case Examples: Smart cities, transportation, and utilities.
6. ThingSpeak
ThingSpeak is a platform providing various services exclusively targeted for building IoT
applications. It offers the capabilities of real-time data collection, visualizing the collected data in
the form of charts, ability to create plug ins and apps for collaborating with web services, social
network and other APIs. CLOUD F. THINGSPEAK ThingSpeak is an Open-Source IoT
application and API to store and retrieve data from Hardware devices and Sensors.

ThingSpeak is an IoT platform, that allows you to connect and save sensor data in the cloud and
develop IoT applications.
The core element of ThingSpeak is a ‘ThingSpeak Channel’. A channel stores the data that we
send to ThingSpeak. We can create channels for every sensor data. These channels can be set as
private channels or you can share the data publically through Public channels. A channel
comprises of the below elements:

8 fields for storing data of any type - These can be used to store the data from a sensor or from
an embedded device.

3 location fields - Can be used to store the latitude, longitude and the elevation. These are very
useful for tracking a moving device.

1 status field - A short message to describe the data stored in the channel.

Create a channel:

 Sign In to ThingSpeak™ using your MathWorks® Account credentials, or create a new account.
 Click Channels > MyChannels.
 Check the boxes next to Fields 1 -> 2. Enter these channel setting values:
 Name: Average Room Temperature
 Field 1: Temperature (ºC)
 Field 2: Humidity

 Click Save Channel at the bottom of the settings.


 Now change the Field Name according to the Channel Configuration - Use Edit Button to use
the same name as the data value type.

ThingSpeak API Keys:


API keys control access to private data. ThingSpeak™ uses individual channel-level API Keys to
control information for each channel and user-level API keys for account level control.
User API Key:
The User API Key enables channel-level operations using the API. The User API Key is
necessary to create and delete channels and to view information for private channels.
To get your User API Key:
 Click Account > My Profile.
 If your API Key is compromised, you can generate a new key: Click Generate New API Key.

ThingSpeak Key Features : ThingSpeak allows you to aggregate, visualize and analyze live
data streams in the cloud. Some of the key capabilities of ThingSpeak include the ability to:

 Easily configure devices to send data to ThingSpeak using popular IoT protocols.
 Visualize your sensor data in real-time.
 Aggregate data on-demand from third-party sources.
 Use the power of MATLAB to make sense of your IoT data.
 Run your IoT analytics automatically based on schedules or events.
 Prototype and build IoT systems without setting up servers or developing web software.
 Automatically act on your data and communicate using third-party services like Twilio®.
Conclusion : One of the key elements of an IoT system is an IoT service. ThingSpeak is one such
application platform offering a wide variety of features. At the heart of ThingSpeak is a channel which
can be used for storing and processing data collected from the ‘things’. ThingSpeak also provides various
apps for integration with web services, other APIs and social networks and provides the capability to
create the applications as plugins. It is a great platform with extensive possibilities to explore the
integration of the Internet of Things.
