Internet of Things with Arduino Cookbook

Chapter 2. Cloud Data Monitoring

In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Internet of Things platforms for Arduino
  • Connecting sensors to your Arduino board
  • Posting the sensor data online
  • Retrieving your online data
  • Monitoring sensor data from a cloud dashboard
  • Monitoring several Arduino boards at once
  • Troubleshooting issues with cloud data monitoring

Introduction

One of the most important things you can do with an Internet of Things project is to send data online, so it can be stored, retrieved later, and plotted inside a nice dashboard. Of course, it needs to be accessible from any web browser or application in the world.

In this chapter, this is exactly what we are going to do with Arduino. We are going to use an Arduino board to log sensor data online, and then we'll see how to exploit this data. We are first going to get an overview of what options are available when you want to log data online from an Arduino project. Then, we are going to connect sensors to the Arduino board, and log this data online. Finally, we'll see how to access this data, plot it, and also visualize data coming from several boards at once.

Internet of Things platforms for Arduino

In the first recipe of this chapter, we are going to see the different platforms that are available for us, if we want to store data online from an Arduino project. We'll see what are the strengths and the weaknesses of each platform, so we can make a choice for the rest of this chapter.

Available platforms

The first platform that I wanted to mention here is called Dweet.io. You can learn more about it at:

https://dweet.io/

Available platforms

Dweet.io is basically a simple API that can be called from any web browser or application, and it is so simple to use that even a human can use it without problems! It's really easy to store data there from an Arduino project, and then to retrieve this data using other applications.

The next platform I wanted to mention here is Xively. This is the main page of Xively:

https://xively.com/

Available platforms

Xively is a complete IoT platform, which is more dedicated to the business world than Dweet.io, for example. It includes more functions...

Connecting sensors to your Arduino board

In this recipe, we are going to build the project that we will use for the rest of this chapter. We basically want to connect sensors to the Arduino MKR1000 board that will continuously measure data. As an example here, we are going to connect a photocell (that we already used in the first chapter of this book), as well as a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor.

Getting ready

Let's first see what additional components we will need for this project:

You will also need to install the Adafruit DHT library that you can find inside the Arduino board manager.

We are now going to assemble the project. First, place the resistor in series with the photocell on the breadboard, next to the MKR1000 board.

Now, connect the other end of the resistor to GND on the MKR1000 board, and the other end of the...

Posting the sensor data online

Using the Arduino MKR1000 board and the sensors that we connected to it, we are finally going to log data online, using the Dweet.io service.

Getting ready

For this recipe, you simply need to have the previous recipe up and running, so make sure you have all the sensors connected to your board, and that you have tested them with the test sketch.

You should already have it by now, but make sure that you have the Arduino WiFi101 library installed inside the Arduino IDE.

How to do it...

We are now going to configure the board so it sends the measurements from the sensor to Dweet.io at regular intervals. As this sketch is quite similar to what we already saw in previous chapters, I will only highlight the most important parts of the code here:

  1. First, we need to define the libraries that we are going to use in this project:
    #include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi101.h>
#include "DHT.h"
  2. Then, we need to define a name for our thing on Dweet.io, which is the...

Retrieving your online data

Now that we have stored measurement data in the previous recipe, we are now going to learn how to retrieve it and possibly use it inside applications.

Getting ready

For this recipe, you need to have some data stored on the Dweet.io server. For that, please follow the previous recipe if that's not done yet.

How to do it...

Let's suppose that you have data stored for a device called "mymkr1000" on the Dweet.io server. You can easily access the latest data that was stored on the server by typing the following command inside any web browser:

https://dweet.io/get/latest/dweet/for/mymkr1000

This will be the result:

{  
   "this":"succeeded",
   "by":"getting",
   "the":"dweets",
   "with":[  
      {  
         "thing":"mymkr1000",
         "created":"2016-05-06T09:35:31.110Z",
         "content":{  
            "temperature&quot...

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
How can I cancel my order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon
