Abstract
A growing demand for integrated security and safety systems leads to an increase in the initiatives taken for smart community projects. This paper proposes a real-time weather monitoring system designed for a smart home that displays weather parameters such as the intensity of rainfall, temperature, wind speed and light intensity obtained from the sensors to the cloud by implementing message queuing telemetry transport protocol. The proposed system is portable, affordable and the data can be accessed at any instant. The Internet of Things is implemented to make informed decisions and to optimize the experience of the residents by providing them with real time data and sending customized alert notifications via email to the right person. The clients can subscribe to the channel from anywhere in the world and get the updates from the implemented system in their smartphone and PC.
