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