Packet Tracer and IoT Development: Smart Office Network Design Project

This project details the design and implementation of a smart office network using Packet Tracer. Task One involves creating a smart office environment with various IoT devices (ceiling fan, lamp, door lock, etc.) connected to a wireless router and controlled remotely from a branch office. The network configuration includes setting up a registration server, configuring a DHCP server, and establishing DNS services. Automation is implemented to control devices based on sensor data, such as turning on lights upon motion detection and activating sprinklers in case of smoke detection. Task Two focuses on developing a Python script to gather real-world data from IoT devices and sensors, specifically from the Ballina sensor data available at http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDN60801/IDN60801.94596.json, and presenting the processed data (maximum, minimum, and average temperature and humidity) on a webpage. The project utilizes Apache Web server and CGI BIN directory for displaying the output. The solution covers network design, device configuration, remote control implementation, and data analysis using Python.
