Stage 3 – a web application using Xively, Python, and Amazon cloud service

The cloud services module of the overall system enables remote access to your monitoring station through the Internet. The unit interacts with the user via a web application as an extended version of the control center. With the use of this web application, the user can observe the sensor information from the monitoring station and the system's status calculated by the control center while having remote control to turn off the buzzer. So, what does the architecture of the cloud services look like?

Architecture of the cloud services

The architecture of the cloud services module with its associated components is displayed in the following diagram. In the cloud services architecture, we are using Xively as the intermediate data relay between the web application and the control center. The control center pushes the observations obtained from the monitoring station to the Xively channels. Xively stores and relays the data...
