IOT Level and Deployment Templates
BITS Pilani
End Device allows :
• Identification
• Remote Sensing
• Actuation
• Monitoring Capabilities
IOT system other than end device(s) comprises of multiple virtual & physical
components
• Resource – Software components
• Controller Service – runs on device & interacts with
web services
• Database – local/cloud; stores data generated by device
• Applications – interface to the user for control & monitoring

IOT Application Levels
BITS Pilani
IOT applications are classified into different levels based on the
complexity of the applications and the complexity of the elements
used to build them
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
IOT Level 1
BITS Pilani
• Single node/device
• Sensing/Actuation
• Store Data
• Perform Analysis
• Hosts application
Suitable for
• Low cost
• Low complexity
• Where Data is not ‘big’
• Analysis not computationally intensive
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
Example of level-1 IOT system – Home automation
BITS Pilani
• Single node controlling lights/applications remotely.
• Interfaces using relays
• Status in local database
• REST services deployed locally for database status (retrieving
& updating state of each light in database status)
• Controller service to trigger relays
• User interface for controlling lights/applications
• Connected to internet – most rudimentary IOT system
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
IOT Level 2
BITS Pilani
• Single big node
• Sensing/actuation/local
analysis
• Data stored in cloud
• Cloud based
application(usually)
Suitable when
• Data is ‘big’
• Primary analysis is not
intensive & can be
done locally
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
Example of level 2 IOT system – Smart Irrigation.
BITS Pilani
• Single node for monitoring Soil Moisture level and controlling
irrigation system.
• Soil/Moisture data from sensors
• Continuous monitoring
• Threshold moisture level for irrigation
• Actuators – solenoid valves

• Cloud based application for visualizing & making schedules
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
IOT Level 3
BITS Pilani
• Single Node
• Cloud based data storage
& analysis
Suitable when
• Data is ‘big’
• Computationally intensive
analysis
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
Example of level 3 IOT system : Package tracking
(single package) BITS Pilani
• Single node to monitor vibration levels
• Accelerometer & Gyroscope
• Send sensor data in Real-Time to cloud using web socket service
• Data stored in cloud.
• Data visualized using cloud- based application
• Triggers alerts if vibration levels > threshold
Advantage of using web socket service over REST
• sensor data can be sent in RT to the cloud
• Cloud based applications may subscribe to sensor data feeds for
viewing the RT data
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
IOT level-4
BITS Pilani
• Multiple Nodes

• Data stored in cloud
• Cloud based Application
Observer Nodes
• Local & Cloud based observer
nodes
• Process information and use it
for various applications.
• Do not perform any control
functions
Suitable for
• Multiple nodes required
• Data is ’big’
• Computationally intensive
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
Example of Level 4 system : Noise Monitoring
BITS Pilani
• Multiple nodes in different locations
• Nodes equipped with sound sensors
• Nodes independent of each other- each node runs its own
controller service to send data to the cloud.
• Data stored in cloud database.
• Analysis of data from multiple nodes in the cloud.
• Cloud based application for visualizing the aggregated data.
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
IOT Level – 5
BITS Pilani
• Multiple end nodes + one
coordinator node
• End nodes :
Sending/actuation
• Coordinator node:
collects data from end
nodes and sends to the
cloud.
• Data stored & analysed
in cloud
• Cloud based application.
Suitable for
• Solutions based on WSN
– data is ‘big’ &
computationally
intensive
EEE F411: Internet of Things (Dr. Vinay Chamola, BITS-Pilani)
Example of Level-5 System: Forest Fire Detection
BITS Pilani
