An Implementation of IoT-Based Weather Monitoring System

The living environment monitoring is a critical issue today. Many related researches focused on developing the living environment monitoring systems by using the web-based technology, but such information systems would increase the difficulty of promotion and migration to others, because of needing well-trained engineers to achieve and maintain such information system. This research focuses on developing the weather monitoring system. The main goal of the research is to use the technology of message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) as roles of the communication layer instead of direct-connecting database, which can isolate the system migration complexity from heterogeneous relational database management system (RDBMS) and construct a distributed information system easily. Finally the contributions are demonstrated as implementation of the IoT-based weather monitoring system. The prototyping of the weather monitoring system is implemented and deployed at Wu-Tso elementary school for the students' learning of nature science and activity environment. In addition, the system is implemented using open sources and is easy to be deployed and scalable.
