An IoT platform is a multi-layer technology that enables straightforward provisioning, management, and automation of connected devices within the Internet of Things universe.
For developers, an IoT platform provides a set of ready-to-use features that greatly speed up development of applications for connected devices as well as take care of scalability and cross-device compatibility.
Some of the known IoT platform used by developers for fast deployment and prototyping.
Thingspeak
Adafruit Io
Cayenne IoT Dashboard
Etc
you have to send sensor data to a hosted server/ cloud server to be able to access your data anywhere in the world and this is made possible by above IoT platform.
Thingspeak .
ThingSpeak™ is an IoT analytics platform service that allows you to aggregate, visualize and analyze live data streams in the cloud. ThingSpeak provides instant visualizations of data posted by your devices to ThingSpeak. With the ability to execute MATLAB® code in ThingSpeak you can perform online analysis and processing of the data as it comes in. ThingSpeak is often used for prototyping and proof of concept IoT systems that require analytics.
Adafruit Io
Adafruit IO is a system that makes data useful. Our focus is on ease of use, and allowing simple data connections with little programming required. i includes client libraries that wrap our REST and MQTT APIs
Cayenne Dashboard for IoT
Cayenne is an online IoT dashboard that takes most of the complication out of creating hardware-oriented programming. Originally it worked with just the Raspberry Pi. Now it is available for the Arduino as well. Cayenne is a drag-and-drop programming system for the IoT that really does make it much easier
These IoT platform can be used with Menya IoT kits to control and Monitor sensor data.
Next , we will see how to send sensor data to ThingSpeak IoT platform.
