Smart Community Monitoring System using Thingspeak IoT Plaform

摘要

The world especially homes are getting smarter on a daily basis, by the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT). As man is a social being the smart homes must not be standing alone, they must collaborate each other to build a smart community. Smart community is a network of smart homes in a local geography. The smart community acts as an intermediate between smart homes and smart cities. Various papers propose smart community architecture where all homes in it are having the same functionality. But that is not the case in the real-world scenario. In a society, various homes will be needing various functionalities. Each home will have to monitor different parameters using different sensors and have to provide different responses and services accordingly. This paper presents a monitoring platform for a smart community, of which there are three custom-designed smart homes having different functionalities. The data is sent to ThingSpeak IoT platform via MQTT protocol which will be displayed in charts. The IoT platform also alerts the community manager and other homes in case of emergency using the ThingHTTP, React and TalkBack app in the ThingSpeak. Device control is based on time is implemented using TimeControl and based ib Tweet messages is implemented using TweetControl app. The monitoring platform was successfully implemented and was found functioning well.
