Project for the WHD global 2017 hackathon with Arduino Intel Edison and Intel IoT analytics.
The aim of the project is use the Intel IoT platform hosted in 1&1 cloud servers to make a demo of how easy you can connect any “thing” like solar power panels to Internet.

3. Description of Project
The aim of the project is use the Intel IoT platform
hosted in 1&1 cloud servers to make a demo of how
easy you can connect any “thing” like solar power
panels to Internet to:
• Collect data
• Connect things each other
• Receive alarms
• Manage power
• Get statistics
• Etc…
4. Our Solution
• Use Intel Edison Arduino to connect and monitor
things. In this case, solar power panels
• Use Intel IoT Analytics platform to collect data, send
alarms and use as a gateway between solar power
panels
• One Master solar power panel knows power demand
and state of the rest of panels and control de slaves
panels
• Depending on power demand, the master connects or
disconnects the panels knowing their state and the
light radiation the receive.
• All panels monitor temperature and light radiation.
They disconnect in case of alarm and send the new
state
5. Technologies We Used
• Arduino IDE
• Arduino Intel Edison
• API REST
• Intel IoT Analytics Platform
• Cloud Server
• Rules
• Real Time
6. Results
• A complete smart solar power plant monitored in one
platform.
• Receive early alarms in our mobile phone, email, etc…
• Data storage for thousand or millions of physical
parameters to analyze them in future.
• One cloud server with Intel IoT Platform allows us to
make a rapid prototype and get data in just a few
hours to have an idea on our proof of concept.
• High scalable platform for any interested customer and
installed in a few minutes in 1&1 cloud servers
15. Things Left To Do
• Improve the code
• Make an Arduino formal library to easy connect an
Arduino or any other microcontroller to the Intel
IoT platform
• Make a data analytics app with all collected data
• Use MQTT protocol to use a push police for
communication between nodes instead of pull
