Connecting my sensor network to cloud

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi,
I am making water quality monitoring system as my final term project. I have already done all the sensors ( Connecting them to arduino , getting sensor values ) but i need to connect it to the cloud so i can send notifications to my mobile when quality of water reaches threshold , I looked for cheap options like ESP8266
but i need to know any iot cloud service which would be real helpful to me ??

Why do you want to hand your data over to some anonymous "cloud service"?

So it can analyze data to send notification when water quality degrade.
Like i found a service called blynk

The undefined "cloud service" isn't going to do that. You need to find, or write, a specific service that can analyze the data and take action based on the results of the analysis.

For a final term project, I would expect YOU to do the analysis and take the actions, NOT leverage other people's work that you don't understand.

u are getting it wrong,
I will write the service code but i need cloud which will analyze the data being sent from the sensors in real time and send notification , The sensor network would be at a remote place.

For a beginner it is quite hard to create new project so i started with a project which has some tutorial online , don't be so harsh.

mohitd087,

I'm able to get data from sensors, send wireless to a base unit, where the base unit posts to a web site but only a local web (basically my home internet). I have sensor detecting garage door state (open / closed) and temps. The base is a web server that creates and posts pages, then with my browser I can see the page created, I can even open the page on my phone. My recent addition was adding buttons to the web page so I can open and close the garage doors.

I'm using this web server module

It comes with some examples, I think I started with this example and hacked it to meet my needs.
Adafruit_WINC1500/examples/WiFiWebServer/WiFiWebServer.ino

I've yet to figure out how to post my data to a site where I can access outside my home network. Basically If I travel overseas i can close my garage doors if I left them open. Everybody brags about IOT but is sure is not easy to implement...

My feedback may not help with your situation, but I'm pretty sure it's more helpful than others.

I think what is being said is that you would do the logic on your Arduino.
read sensors.

  • send readings to web for archive/reading current conditions
    local logic : if reading is out of desired range
  • send txt to your cell to alert of problems

This seems more like a college semister than an overnight read.... but it has a lot of the information you are looking for.
