Arduino IoT Cloud for Developers

By: Muhammad Afzal

Overview of this book

The Arduino IoT Cloud offers a variety of features for building modern IoT solutions while reducing time and costs for prototyping and deployment. This book is a step-by-step guide, helping you master the powerful Arduino IoT Cloud ecosystem. This book begins by introducing you to the IoT landscape including its architecture, communication technologies, and protocols and then to the capabilities of the Arduino IoT Cloud platform and the Cloud Editor. With practical projects, such as monitoring air quality, building a portable asset tracker, and creating a remote alarm system using the LoRaWAN specification, you'll learn how to implement real-world IoT applications. Next, you'll explore communication between IoT devices and cloud platforms as well as the implementation of the Arduino IoT Cloud SDK and JavaScript for advanced customization. You'll also find out how to program IoT nodes, analyze the surrounding environment data, and visualize it on dashboards. Additionally, you’ll get to grips with advanced features such as task scheduling, synchronization, remote over-the-air updates for IoT nodes, and scripting with CCLI, through hands-on examples. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to work with the Arduino IoT Cloud platform and related hardware devices and will be able to develop industry-specific and cost-effective IoT solutions, such as smart homes and smart agriculture.

Project #3 – a Remote Asset Tracking Application with LoRaWAN

This chapter is dedicated to smart transportation and smart remote monitoring using low-power and long-range communication technology. The project in this chapter will take you through the implementation and deployment of a remote alarming application based on Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN), connected to the public, global, and decentralized The Things Network. The project in this chapter provides localization features by using a GPS module. The Arduino IoT Cloud will be used for data visualization and remote configuration of the device. The application will be used in real use cases, showing the benefits offered by LoRaWAN technologies compared to other wireless technologies.

Here, we will practically explore LoRaWAN technologies, which are very useful in remote monitoring and control, whether it’s asset tracking or remote operation monitoring. This project uses the Arduino MKR WAN 1300 development...
