Monitoring and Controlling of Internet of Things(IoT) devices using Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) Protocol

Computer Science Engineering

In smart homes, interconnected health monitoring wearables and smart farming monitoring and controlling of those system is challenging process due to lot of human asset requirement, incompatibility of frameworks due to lot of protocols and want of suitable technical solution. In this paper, an IoT based framework using lightweight MQTT protocol to monitor and control of IoT devices is proposed. The proposed work is to design a basic Orange Pi based circuit to persistently watch and peruse the values of sensors that are constantly changed and control the end devices based on the rules pre-configured, in order to get a full-fledged system which not only monitors values but takes action accordingly in real time. In this approach, an embedded framework is utilized to interface the sensors that gather the data of the surrounding environment. In view of the sensor data collected, a proactive prediction algorithm is advanced to implement a solution for any kind of problem. Gathered data is put away in an influx database, it can be queried based on the applicable data requirement. For communication between devices, MQTT protocol is used. This proposed approach would process the data and report it back to the end user by developing a web page. Along with report, it provides users with rule configure option to define control action to be taken based on the sensor data. The proposed solution is cost effective, flexible, scalable and dynamic nature, and thus can be effectively deployed and set-up in any region to monitor and control efficiently.
