Summary
In this chapter, we completed our IoT alarm system by building an IoT alarm dashboard. We began by understanding IoT alarm dashboards and their usage by considering an example of the level and temperature of a tank. Throughout this chapter, we went through the step-by-step process of setting up, coding, and testing our IoT alarm dashboard, including adding a custom stand for an external buzzer.
We constructed a dashboard for our IoT alarm system using Kivy on the Raspberry Pi 5. The dashboard integrated map functionality to pinpoint the location of any activated IoT alarm module.
As we close this section on the IoT alarm system, we look forward to the next exciting challenge: building a remote monitoring station using LoRa. This next section will introduce us to long-range communication, broadening our understanding and capabilities in IoT projects.
