IoT analytics and dashboards in IOT Protocols - Mini Project: Build & Apply

IoT Analytics and Dashboards

📖 Scenario: You work for a smart home company. They collect temperature data from many sensors in different rooms. Your job is to help analyze this data and create a simple dashboard summary.

🎯 Goal: Build a small program that stores temperature readings, sets a threshold, filters readings above the threshold, and then displays the filtered results as a dashboard summary.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a dictionary with room names as keys and temperature readings as values

Add a threshold variable to filter high temperatures

Use a dictionary comprehension to select rooms with temperatures above the threshold

Print the filtered dictionary as the dashboard output

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

IoT devices often send sensor data like temperatures. Analyzing this data helps monitor environments and trigger alerts.

💼 Career

DevOps engineers and IoT developers use such data filtering and dashboard summaries to maintain and improve smart systems.

1

Create temperature data dictionary

Create a dictionary called temperatures with these exact entries: 'Living Room': 22, 'Kitchen': 27, 'Bedroom': 20, 'Bathroom': 25, 'Garage': 18.

IOT Protocols

# Create the temperatures dictionary with exact room names and values
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces {} to create the dictionary with keys and values separated by colons.

2

Set temperature threshold

Create a variable called threshold and set it to 23 to filter rooms with temperatures above this value.

IOT Protocols

temperatures = {'Living Room': 22, 'Kitchen': 27, 'Bedroom': 20, 'Bathroom': 25, 'Garage': 18}
# Create the threshold variable and set it to 23
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Just assign the number 23 to the variable threshold.

3

Filter rooms above threshold

Use a dictionary comprehension to create a new dictionary called high_temps that includes only rooms from temperatures with values greater than threshold. Use room and temp as the loop variables.

IOT Protocols

temperatures = {'Living Room': 22, 'Kitchen': 27, 'Bedroom': 20, 'Bathroom': 25, 'Garage': 18}
threshold = 23
# Create high_temps dictionary with rooms having temperature > threshold
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use {room: temp for room, temp in temperatures.items() if temp > threshold} to filter.

4

Display dashboard output

Print the high_temps dictionary to display the filtered rooms and their temperatures.

IOT Protocols

temperatures = {'Living Room': 22, 'Kitchen': 27, 'Bedroom': 20, 'Bathroom': 25, 'Garage': 18}
threshold = 23
high_temps = {room: temp for room, temp in temperatures.items() if temp > threshold}
# Print the high_temps dictionary
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use print(high_temps) to show the filtered dictionary.
