IoT device management project.

This project is a coursework assignment at the university. Create a project that will simulate an IoT device management system (one device is sufficient, for example, a smart air conditioner). 

Main requirements:

1. User Interface (Frontend):

   • Create a website through which the user can manage IoT devices (turning on/off, changing parameters, receiving data and statistics).

2. Server Side (Backend):

   • Develop a server that continuously collects data about the state of IoT devices, this server uses MQTT protocol. This server will temporarily be hosted on a local computer (in the future on Raspberry Pi).
   • Additional servers (http, socket) handle requests from the client, store user data, etc. Servers can be run locally or hosted on vercel.

3. Emulation of IoT Devices:

   • Implement the emulation of connected IoT devices using WOKWI (these can be lamps, temperature sensors, etc.) that respond to user commands. Basic commands - turn on, turn off, get data.
   • Communication between the server and the devices is carried out via the MQTT protocol, the server collects sensor data and stores it in the file system.
   • Additional task - connect real devices (sensors, diodes, etc. on Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32, ARDUINO boards, ...)

4. Node-RED for organizing communication:

   • Use Node-RED for visual organization and automation of communication between the website, server, and IoT devices.
   • Node-RED will temporarily be hosted on a local computer (in the future on Raspberry Pi).
5. Telegram bot for managing IoT devices (additional task):
   • Create a server for telegram bot that will send commands to manage IoT devices to other servers.
   • Host the telegram bot server on vercel.

Final project goals:

• Presentation of the web interface, server side, and interaction with IoT device emulators through the server.
• In the future – the possibility of transferring the project to Raspberry Pi for working with real devices.

To pass the assignment, it is necessary to demonstrate the project in operation with a brief explanation of the architecture and principles of operation.
