Design and Realization of an IoT Prototype for Location Remote Monitoring via a Web Application

Currently, a remarkable new technology in the field of electronics and computer networks offers great potential for the development of new services and applications connecting the physical world to the virtual world. This technology is the Internet of Things (IoT). It allows drawing a digital map of the real world, giving an electronic identity to the objects and places of the physical environment. In this paper, the concept of the Internet of Things has been applied and its spectrum of use has been extended by making an IoT-based prototype to give the user the possibility of monitoring a remote location through a Web application. Our system consists of three nodes responsible for capturing physical quantities such as temperature/humidity, movement and gas/smoke. The monitoring is carried out via a Web application where the user can consult these quantities in real time on a graphical interface or will be alerted by receiving a notification on his Smartphone or on his computer if the application turns in the background following the triggering of an event such as exceeding a parameter threshold or detecting an intrusion into the monitored location.
