IoT Architect at Ingenious and BOM Assignment

Task One:

You have just joined as an IoT Architect at Ingenious IoT. The first project you have been tasked with is the setup of a demo IoT Smart Office, with a link to the company offices. The project is divided into 2 parts:

• Create a smart office with the criteria and devices given.
• Control these smart devices from the branch office which is in the same city.

The Main Smart Office includes, but is not limited to the following smart devices:

• Ceiling Fan
• Lamp
• Front Door Lock
• Motion Detector
• Web Camera
• Smoke Detector
• Fire Sprinkler
• Window
• Carbon Dioxide Detector
• Anemometer (Wind Speed Detector)

These devices are linked to a Wireless Router, which is linked via an Ethernet cable to a Cable Modem. The modem is connected to the Internet via an ISP known as Operas. All the devices registered on the Remote Server can be controlled locally by a Tablet which is also connected to the wireless network. There is a Remote Server connected to the Company's Cloud Cluster service (run by Sky Servers), as well as an external server that the Smart office uses for backups.

Ensure that you add all necessary screenshots with the documentation as well as the packet tracer file to be presented to the manager for project approval.

Build and configure a smart office. (Refer to the file on the Student Resources named Assignment_2_Help). Save the file as StudentID_Firstname_ITC560.pkt (using your own student ID and first name). A template exists in the Cisco Network Academy IOT Course.

All screenshots for each step with a brief explanation must be included in the document. Once the Assignment is completed, the student must embed the packet tracer file as an object in the word document as StudentID_Firstname_ITC560.pkt

Part A:

The main office is connected to the Internet Provider using a Cable Modem. Once that is in place, Add, connect, enable and configure the registration server, tablet and wireless router for the main site. The network must implement security protocols and techniques.

You should define a suitable addressing scheme and ensure that your devices get addresses via DHCP where appropriate. This represents your first office.

All the devices for the Main Smart Office as outlined above should be represented in this environment.

Create a DNS name server to resolve the names of the devices in this environment. Use DNS wwwFirstName.com (where FirstName is your own first name) to access the connected devices.

Part B:

Add a new branch office in the same city. Either move the same tablet to the branch office or use your smartphone and connect to the main smart office server. You can use any connecting and intermediary devices of your choice. Log on to the web browser on your tablet/smartphone and manage the devices.

Use your tablet/smartphone to:

• Turn off the Sprinkler
• Turn off the ceiling fan
• Lock the door
• Dim the lamp
• Turn on the smoke alarm
• Turn on the motion detector
• Turn on the wind detector

Part C:

For the final part of this task, embed the following logic in the main office.

• When the motion detector, detects motion, turn on the lamp and the web camera to take a picture or video stream.
• When the fire smoke detector, detects a fire, turn on the sprinkler. When the fire is gone, the sprinkler should stop. Ideally, this should be implemented by first triggering a siren at a particular level and when that level is well and truly surpassed turning on the water. Pick appropriate levels when demonstrating the condition.
• When the carbon dioxide detector detects carbon dioxide, open the window. The window should be closed when the levels dissipate. Pick appropriate levels for CO2.

You must demonstrate the operation of each of these criteria.

Task Two:

You are given the task of implementing an IoT service by gathering real-world data from actual IoT sensors. This scenario will be explained further in your tutorial tasks. You have recently been appointed to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM).

You have been asked to write a piece of software using Python to gather data from the Ballina IoT sensor. The BOM makes all data available via a standardized web interface. In the case of the Ballina sensor.

The data returned through this API represents the last three days of sensor data, collected at appropriate intervals by the BOM Fog environment.

You will be most interested in understanding the data gathered from individual stations. Once you have done this you are to perform the following tasks.

Part A:

Install a Linux environment on your workstation, using a suitable hypervisor e.g. VirtualBox. Be sure to install the Apache Web Server and the Python programming language. If you prefer you can build this server on any Cloud computing environment such as AWS.

Part B:

Write a Python Script which uses the Python Requests and JSON module to download the JSON object outlined before. The program MUST process the 3 days of data from this stream and report:

• The maximum, minimum and average temperature.
• The maximum, minimum and average relative humidity.

Part C:

Modify your Python Program so that it produces a simple web page as its output. Once that is done, place the script in the CGI-BIN directory so that when it is accessed, it provides the user with a web page containing the above information.
