IoT and Cloud Network Based Water Quality Monitoring System Using IFTTT Framework

Abstract

AbstractAn exploiting the increased ubiquity of wireless, mobile and sensor devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) has presented a potential opportunity to construct sensitive industrial systems and applications. Recent agriculture, the food processing unit of industry, environmental monitoring, security surveillance and other industries have all conducted industrial IoT initiatives. Based on IoT and cloud network technology, we built an Android mobile application to measure and report water quality. In the proposed system, multiple sensors are used to measure the presence of impurity in the water resource system. The impurity is tested in physical and chemical form. The proposed system will measure and monitor the following water parameters for analysis: potential hydrogen (pH), turbidity and temperature continuously. Furthermore, the values are stored continuously in a cloud-hosted NoSQL database named FIREBASE using IoT technology. We developed a simple user-friendly mobile application in order to access the parameter values from anywhere and at anytime based on IoT and cloud system technology. The developed mobile application uses the IoT technology and receives the parameter values from the database and displays these parameters in real time. An IoT platform named If This Then That (IFTTT) is adapted to alert the user/higher official with a voice message whenever the parameter values are not in the acceptable range. In the developed mobile application, the alert message contains the values of all the parameters and time to measurement when the quality breach has occurred.KeywordsIOTCloud networkAutomationFrameworkIndustry system
