In the previous chapter, we saw the various domain specific use cases and application areas. In this chapter, we are going to put that knowledge to use by building our sample IoT solution using Raspberry Pi 3, DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, and the ThingSpeak platform. We are going to start off by developing an understanding of what an IoT platform is and how one can easily use them to build an IoT solution without much hassle.
The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:
- Introduction to IoT platforms
- Getting started with Raspberry Pi 3
- Getting started with the ThingSpeak IoT platform
- Building an IoT solution that shows the temperature and humidity in real time on the ThingSpeak dashboard
