Implementation of IoT with
Raspberry Pi
Smart Solutions Using a Mini
Computer
What is IoT?
• Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of
physical devices that collect and exchange
data.
• Examples: Smart homes, wearable health
monitors, smart agriculture, etc.
Why Raspberry Pi for IoT?
• Affordable mini-computer
• Has GPIO pins to connect sensors and
actuators
• Supports Python and Linux
• Can connect to the internet (Wi-Fi/Ethernet)
• Easily programmable
Components Needed
• 1. Raspberry Pi (with Raspbian OS)
• 2. Sensors (e.g., DHT11 for
temperature/humidity)
• 3. Breadboard & Jumper wires
• 4. Internet Connectivity
• 5. Cloud or Local Server for data storage and
monitoring
Real-World Example – Smart
Temperature Monitor
• Goal: Monitor room temperature and send
data online
• Sensor: DHT11
• Connected to: Raspberry Pi GPIO
• Data sent to: Cloud server or dashboard
Working Process
• 1. Sensor collects data
• 2. Raspberry Pi reads data using Python
• 3. Data is either:
• - Displayed locally (on terminal)
• - Sent to the cloud using HTTP/MQTT
• 4. Optional: Trigger actions (e.g., fan on if
temp > 30°C)
Sample Python Code (Simplified)
• import Adafruit_DHT
• sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11
• humidity, temp = Adafruit_DHT.read(sensor, 4)
• print(f"Temp: {temp}°C, Humidity: {humidity}
%")
Applications of IoT with Raspberry
Pi
• Smart Homes (lighting, security)
• Weather Stations
• Agriculture (soil, temperature monitoring)
• Industry (machine monitoring)
• Health Monitoring Systems
Conclusion
• Raspberry Pi makes IoT projects affordable,
customizable, and powerful
• Can be used for both learning and real-world
solutions
• Great platform for innovation in automation
and data-driven control
