Abstract – With recent development in Internet of Things (IoT), several environmental researchers, scientists, Government and Corporates initiated monitoring the environmental parameters. The system is made up of three layers such as sensor layer, Hardware layer and Cloud layer. It makes it possible to sense, acquire, process and transfer environmental information over a large area in real time. With today’s lecture, the goal is to demonstrate few of the environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity, air quality, CO2, light and pressure sensors interfacing with ARM Mbed microcontroller (MCU) and transferring into the Amazon Web IoT services. Once the Environmental information is available at the cloud, we could monitor the data on mobile phone as well on the desktop/Laptop computers. One could provide the data analytics to end users utilizing analytics tools offered by various Cloud providers such as IBM Bluemix, AWS IoT, Microsoft Azure, and GE-Predix. The lecture session helps attendees to learn these IoT technologies and services.
