contents This article discusses the development of an IoT system for monitoring and controlling various devices and systems from different vendors. The authors considered key challenges in IoT projects, such as interoperability and integration, scalability, and data storage, processing, and visualization, during the design and deployment phases. In addition to these general challenges, the authors also delve into the specific integration challenges they encountered. Various devices and systems were integrated into the system and five real-world scenarios in a university campus environment are used to illustrate the challenges encountered. The scenarios involve monitoring various aspects of a university campus environment, including air quality, environmental parameters, energy efficiency, solar photovoltaic energy, and energy consumption. The authors analyzed data and CPU usage to ensure that the system could handle the large amount of data generated by the devices. The platform developed uses open source projects such as Home Assistant, InfluxDB, Grafana, and Node-RED. All developments have been published as open source in public repositories. In conclusion, this work highlights the potential and feasibility of IoT systems in various real-world applications, the importance of considering key challenges in IoT projects during the design and deployment phases, and the specific integration challenges that may be encountered.
