This assignment is comprised of two tasks. The tasks are outlined below.
You have just joined as an IoT Developer at HomeSpun IoT. The first project you have been tasked with is to setup of a demo IoT House for your immediate department head with a remote link to the company Office. The project is divided into 2 parts:
Ceiling Fan
2x Lamps
Siren
Front Door Lock
Motion Detector
Web Camera
Smoke Detector
Thermostat
Furnace
Air Conditioner (AC)
Portable Music Player
Bluetooth Speaker
These devices are linked to a Wireless Router, which is linked via an Ethernet cable to a Cable Modem. The modem is connected to the Internet via an ISP known as TPH. All the devices are registered on a Remote Server which can be controlled locally by a Tablet that is also connected to the wireless network. The Remote Server is connected to the Company’s Cloud Cluster service (run by Net Servers), as well as an external server that the Smart Home uses for media streaming.
Ensure that you add all necessary screenshots with the documentation as well as the packet tracer file to be presented to the manager for project approval.
Build and configure the Smart Home. (Refer to the file on the Student Resources named Assignment_2_Help). Save the file as StudentID_Firstname_ITC560.pkt (using your own student ID and first name). A template exists in the Cisco Network Academy IoT Course.
All screenshots for each step with a brief explanation must be included in the document. Once the Assignment is complete, the student must embed the packet tracer file as an object in the word document as StudentID_Firstname_ITC560.pkt
Part A (4 marks)
The home is connected to the Internet Service Provider using a Cable Modem. Once that is in place, Add, connect, enable and configure the registration server, tablet and wireless router for the House. The network must implement secure protocols and techniques. You should define a suitable addressing scheme and ensure that your devices get addresses via DHCP where appropriate.
All the devices for the Home as outlined above should be represented in this environment.
Create a DNS name server to resolve the names of the devices in this environment. Use DNS wwwFirstName.com (where FirstName is your own first name) to access the connected devices.
Part B (3 marks)
Turn on the Siren
Lock the door
Dim one lamp
brighten the other lamp
Turn on the furnace
Turn on the ceiling fan
Part C (3 marks)
For the final part of this task, embed the following logic in the main office.
You must demonstrate the operation of each of these criteria.
Task Two
You are given the task of implementing an IoT service by gathering real world data from actual IoT sensors. This scenario will be explained further in your tutorial tasks.
You have recently been appointed to the Beurea of Meteorology (BOM).
You have been asked to write a piece of software using Python to gather data from the Evens Head IOT sensor. The BOM makes all data available via a standardized web interface. In the case of the Evans Head sensor, this data can be found at
http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDN60701/IDN60701.94598.json
The data returned through this API represents the last three days of sensor data, collected at appropriate intervals by the BOM Fog environment.
Your job is to review how the BOM gathers and presents this data at
http://www.bom.gov.au/catalogue/data-feeds.shtml#xml
You will be mostly interested in understanding the data gathered from individual stations. Once you have done this you are to perform the following tasks.
Part A (2 marks)
Install a Linux environment on your workstation, using a suitable hypervisor e.g. VirtualBox. Be sure to install the Apache Web Server and the Python programming language. If you prefer you can build this server on any Cloud computing environment such as AWS.
Part B (4 marks)
Write a Python Script which uses the Python Requests and JSON module to download the JSON object outlined before. The program MUST process the 3 days of data from this stream and report:
the maximum, minimum and average pressure
the maximum, minimum and average wind speed
Part C (4 marks)
Modify your Python Program so that it produces a simple web page as its output. Once that is done, place the script in the CGI-BIN directory so that when it is accessed, it provides the user with a web page containing the above information.
The tutorial tasks over the semester will provide you with sufficient insight to complete these tasks.
When completed, you must prepare a document with screen shots outlining the process you have taken to implement the above. You must include a copy of the script used in Part 2 and you must demonstrate your program working.
