How it works

Solution structure of environment monitoring

Sensor data is transmitted to ThingsBoard using IoT protocols like HTTP, MQTT, CoAP, and LwM2M, or via integrations with LoRaWAN servers and other platforms.

The built-in stream processing engine instantly analyzes incoming messages, triggers events, generates alarms, and routes data to monitoring dashboards. The collected data is visualized through intuitive dashboards, giving users clear insights into alarms, and performance metrics — all in real time, from a single interface.

IoT solution architecture: devices connect via protocols and gateways to ThingsBoard for alarms, dashboards, notifications, and data lakes IoT solution architecture: devices connect via protocols and gateways to ThingsBoard for alarms, dashboards, notifications, and data lakes

Environment monitoring dashboard structure

The dashboard has several states. The main state displays the list of the sensors, their location on the map as well as the list of their alarms. You may drill down to the sensor details state by clicking on the table row. The sensor details state allows to browse temperature and humidity history, change sensor settings and location. The live dashboard is part of the solution template

Environment monitoring state

Sensor C1 monitoring state

Sensor T1 monitoring state

Add or edit sensor

Dashboard provides real-time monitoring of sensor data with interactive charts displaying metrics like temperature and humidity. The interface allows configuring alarm thresholds and sensor locations while showing active alarms with severity levels. You can analyze historical data and manage device settings.

Track real-time temperature and humidity readings from Sensor C1 along with historical data from the past hour. Compare key metrics (min/max/average values) to maintain optimal environment conditions.

Track real-time temperature and humidity readings from Sensor T1 along with historical data from the past hour. Compare key metrics (min/max/average values) to maintain optimal environment conditions.

You can configure Sensor's critical thresholds including high temperature and low humidity alarms. Precise geolocation can be modified via latitude/longitude coordinates. All changes remain pending until confirmed with the Save button. The Cancel option reverts any unsaved modifications to previous settings.
