## Step-by-step guide

As part of this project, each team will create their own interactive dashboard to visualize weather station data using ThingsBoard, a powerful open-source IoT platform for data collection, processing, visualization, and device management.

Your team will use a hosted version of ThingsBoard available at:

https://iot.claviscloud.ch

Each team has been assigned a unique login:

- vs_team1@iot.gbssg.ch

- vs_team2@iot.gbssg.ch

- vs_team3@iot.gbssg.ch

- vs_team4@iot.gbssg.ch

- vs_team5@iot.gbssg.ch

Your password will be provided by your instructor.

### What is ThingsBoard?

ThingsBoard allows you to:

- Connect IoT devices using standard protocols like MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP

- Store and process real-time sensor data

- Create rich visualizations using customizable dashboards and widgets

It’s scalable and fault-tolerant—perfect for building and managing IoT solutions like your weather station.

### Your Goal

Each team will create a dashboard to visualize real-time weather data. This will involve:

- Connecting your weather station to the platform (This step is already completed, as long as you have registered your weather station in our shared TTN application and followed the protocol.)

- Using Time Series Line Charts to display sensor data like temperature, humidity, or air pressure

- Customizing widgets to suit your data and design goals

### Helpful Documentation for Dashboards and Widgets

You’ll find detailed step-by-step instructions for creating dashboards and widgets in the ThingsBoard Professional Edition documentation:
