Abstract

IOTSocket is an open-source Internet of Things (IoT) project. A python-based secured IoT WebSocket to handle multiple clients simultaneously. IOT devices like Raspberry can also use this module as client with IOTSocketClient module. It is built using Python, Raspberry Pi. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building an Internet of Things (IoT) mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

IOT devices like Raspberry can also use this module as client with IOTSocketClient module.

IOT Socket Server handle multiple clients (with unique deviceID and its key) simultaneously for bidirectional communication. It is similar to WebSocket. Here we can handle each client individually from there device id.

For every data transmission from client to server or vice versa there is a time stamp which is compared with server/client present time. If the time doesn't match (tolerance of -2 sec) or if there is any reused time then socket is closed.

2. Objective

A python-based secured IoT WebSocket to handle multiple clients simultaneously.

This project demonstrates how Python, Raspberry Pi can be applied to a real-world Internet of Things (IoT) problem.

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

  1. Which microcontroller / board and sensors are used and why?
  2. How does the device send data (Wi-Fi, MQTT, HTTP, Bluetooth)?
  3. Where is the sensor data stored and visualised?
  4. How is power consumption managed?
  5. How would you secure the device and its communication?
