Preamble

The Internet of Things (IoT) platform is a hardware and software system for managing IoT devices and collecting, storing, visualizing and analyzing data from those devices. An IoT platform typically can: The Internet of Things (IoT) platform is a hardware and software system for managing IoT devices and collecting, storing, visualizing and analyzing data from those devices. An IoT platform typically can: 1. Collect data from various sources 2. Store data 3. Control devices 4. Display data 5. Run tests 6. Deploy device updates 7. Manage device inventory. A Dashboard is a crucial component of any IoT platform. Dashboard can: 1. Display data 2. Control devices

Objective

To develop online Dashboard for monitoring and controlling of IoT devices, a website base is required which monitors and controls the IoT devices so everyone can use and customize source of program for own works. 1- A generic open source application based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS that runs in modern browsers that everyone can use and customize it for their works. 2- A server is only used to serve the dashboard files. Simply arrange and configure widgets to display data from any data source. 3- Use MySQL Database to store IoT’s Data. 4- Extract stored data from Database for machine learning purpose to control selected IoT devices automatically.

Partial Specifications

These tasks to be performed:

1- Develop web site that work on every platforms (mobile, tablet, ...)
2- Develop user friendly Graphical widgets (Bargraph, Analog and Digital Widgets …)
3- Send special Data from website to IoT Devices
4- Transfer special Data from IoT Devices
5- Design Data Format to send and receive data between website and IoT devices

Suggested Approach

1- Develop web site based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS, PHP that works on different platform (mobile, laptop, tablet…) using BOOTSTRAP 4
2- Develop Graphical widgets (Bargraph, Analog and Digital Widgets…)
3- Develop a transaction Protocol by GET and SEND commands (using PHP)
4- Develop a Database in server side (using MySQL)

Group Responsibilities

1. Literature review on Dashboard for Smart home system, 2. Design/develop the technical specifications required for the system prototype under consideration, 3. Implement and test of the entire system with the above objectives, 4. Prepare a technical report and present the results at the end of the program.

Student A Responsibilities

To design, develop and implement web site (based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS, PHP)

Student B Responsibilities

To design, develop and implement graphical widgets

Student C Responsibilities

To design, develop and implement a transaction protocol for connection between the IoT devices and server program (cooperation with Hardware section of IoT Platform’s Team is required)
