Build an IoT Device Management Web Platform

Managing a fleet of smart devices (sensors, cameras, appliances) remotely requires scalable dashboards that allow control, updates, troubleshooting, and monitoring. Without centralized platforms, IoT ecosystems can become chaotic and insecure.

Build a web application that lets users onboard devices securely, monitor real-time data, control device settings remotely, schedule firmware updates, receive anomaly alerts, and visualize device usage statistics — essential for both industrial and consumer IoT networks.

Devices are registered using secure onboarding procedures. Once connected, devices send telemetry (temperature, status, battery level, etc.) to the server. Admins use the dashboard to monitor metrics, send control commands, schedule firmware updates, and view device activity history logs.

• Devices register with unique credentials (token or certificate authentication).
• Telemetry data is sent periodically to backend APIs (via MQTT, WebSocket, or HTTP).
• Admins see real-time status dashboards for device health, connectivity, and data graphs.
• Remote commands (restart, shutdown, reconfigure) can be issued securely.
• Firmware files can be uploaded and deployed selectively or in batches to devices.
