Course Outline Continued
IoT Data Management and Automation
- Data Collection and Storage: Overview of how data is collected from sensors and sent to cloud platforms.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Display sensor data on real-time dashboards (e.g., ThingSpeak).
- Threshold-Based Automation: Automate actions when data exceeds a predefined threshold (e.g., turn on a fan if temperature > 30°C).
- Alert Systems: Set up alerts and notifications through integrated systems (e.g., email alerts or voice commands via Google Assistant).
- Home Automation: Introduction to Home Automation System using Google Assistant
- Hands-on Projects:
- Log temperature and humidity data to an IoT platform.
- Create a simple weather station and send data to ThingSpeak.
- Trigger notifications or voice-controlled actions (e.g., "Turn on the air purifier when CO2 levels are high") using Google Assistant.
