 ABSTRACT

This project emphasizes the way the data is sent from one node (device) to another

in an IOT application. This project utilizes MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry

Transport) protocol in sending sensor data from a Water Flow Sensor that uses Hall-Effect

Sensor in measuring water flow. This data is sent in a specified local server IP address

(Broker) in a local network and then processed and sent to a real-time cloud database. An

interactive website is then used to interpret the data received from the database.

This project uses Raspberry Pi 3b+ and NodeMCU ESP8266 as the main

components of sending sensor data from one node to another. The TCP/IP protocol is

sustained in addressing each of the nodes to stablish a wireless sensor network capable of

sending data through Wifi.
