An Educational IoT-based Indoor Environment Monitoring System

Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are quickly entering in every aspect of our life, definitely changing the way we interact with smart objects. Such technologies allows to set-up solutions that can be used not just for practical activities, but also for didactic and research. This paper presents the development of an IoT-based environmental monitoring system for indoor workplaces. The remotely accessible monitoring system allows the students to add/remove sensors to the network, configure the nodes and the network, deal with different kind of sensors and controllers, analyze and postprocess the collected data. It also allows to compare the energy consumptions for environmental control with the real environmental wellness. The implemented network and the available didactic scenarios are discussed.
