THINGSPEAK
ThingSpeak is a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT) analytics platform from MathWorks that enables users to:
- Collect and store data from sensors or IoT devices.
- Visualize real-time data through customizable plots.
- Analyze and process data using MATLAB code directly in the cloud.
- Trigger alerts or actions based on conditions or thresholds (e.g., send an email when a temperature exceeds a limit).
Schedule MATLAB code to run periodically for automated data processing.
If you are working with MATLAB and IoT, it is a great platform to prototype and deploy small-scale applications quickly.
CoLLECT
ThingSpeak allows you to send sensor data privately to the cloud. Sensors are everywhere, measuring things like temperature and humidity. While they usually act locally, ThingSpeak lets them send data to the cloud, where it’s stored in private (or optionally public) channels. Once uploaded, the data can be analyzed, visualized, or used to interact with other services or devices.
Analyze
ThingSpeak enables data analysis and visualization using MATLAB. With cloud-stored data, you can easily access and explore it using MATLAB tools on ThingSpeak. This lets you discover patterns, perform calculations, and visualize results through plots and gauges. You can also automate analyses, combine data from multiple sources, and gain deeper insights.
Act
ThingSpeak lets you act on data in real time. You can respond to incoming or calculated data as it enters a channel, and queue commands for devices to execute. ThingSpeak provides tools to enable seamless communication between your data and connected devices.
