Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) refers to an integration concept of different communication systems used for connecting heterogeneous devices with constraints on processing, storage capabilities and power consumption to the Internet, with the purpose of data collecting for analysis and decision making about the measurements of data collected. This new paradigm can be applied in different fields to wirelessly measure variables through mobile devices, laptops and wireless devices having in mind restrictions in terms of battery lifetime, capacity, and cost. This paper describes the implementation of a flexible and low-cost monitoring and data collecting platform using sensors based on open hardware such as Arduino, interconnected through a LoRa network and a cloud-based data storage system developed using open source code. The main objective is to quickly collect different types of variables based on a flexible monitoring and collecting platform adaptable to different types of sensors which could be used in both rural and urban areas in applications that require long-range transmission and low energy consumption. In the future, research on the analysis of performance and improvement solutions will be carried out, as well as the use of other types of devices and protocols in order to compare performance and expand the field of implementation of the proposed platform.
