I. INTRODUCTION
The Internet of Things (IoT) tries to make everyday
objects smart, giving them the ability to detect various
conditions of their environment or of their own operation,
communicate and respond to real-world events [1, 2].
Although the concept of IoT has existed for several years,
the existing telecommunications infrastructure nowadays
has allowed a notable development in this area. This is
demonstrable, since the number of things connected to the
Internet in 2008 exceeded the number of inhabitants of the
planet [3], and analysts predict that by 2020 there will be
50 billion connected devices [1]. According to CISCO
Systems, in 2013 the turnover of the things connected to
the Internet amounted to approximately 475,000 million
and represents a global business of 10,900 billion Euros in
5 years [3].
IoT services demand is diversifying, so to meet these
needs there are some companies offering solutions that
pose a “Project Stack" architecture that allows building
and interacting with IoT projects [3]. Research has even
proposed WSAN (Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network)
solutions as network schemes for deployment scenarios
[4]. These solutions, however, have the disadvantage that a
rent that depends on the number of devices used has to be
paid.
One way to avoid this inconvenience is by implementing
IoT architectures that allow horizontal and vertical scaling,
with the help of open source hardware and software. In this
regard, in [5] a detailed explanation of the anatomy,
construction and architecture of IoT is given, while in [4] a
detailed analysis of various Open Source type hardware
platforms analysis is performed and culminates with
service-oriented software architecture for embedded
systems. Furthermore, in [6] a modular design Middleware
development for capture, storage and release is presented.
In Alfonso et al a Field Operational Test (FOTsis) project
is proposed, contributing to the deployment of an
environment with services involving a considerable
number of entities outside the vehicle, based on an
Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), while Boubetaet al
propose a Service-Oriented Device Architecture (SODA
2.0) and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA). While the
aforementioned works propose architectures and analyze
open source platforms, they do not detail how conjoining
them.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/v8i1-1-160916100645/85/Open-Source-Platforms-Integration-for-the-Development-of-an-Architecture-of-Collection-and-Presentation-of-Information-in-Internet-of-Things-Projects-1-320.jpg)

In this work, two IoT platforms are developed using open
source hardware and software. Each collects information
from the surroundings and communicates with a server
through the Internet. It also shows a way to store, process
and present the information obtained by each of the
platforms. The diagrams, comparisons and example of IoT
architecture presented in this paper offer the opportunity to
identify the basic points for the collection and reporting of
information with such platforms.
II. METHODOLOGY
IoT architecture.
Given the characteristics and diversity of devices that can
be connected together, the IoT architectures over the years
have evolved and begun to contemplate different forms
and stages. However, it has come to generalize the idea
that it is necessary to have a decentralized and distributed
organization as to the manner in which the devices must be
connected, based on structures of only hop, star, cluster,
multi-hop or hierarchical [5].
Now, in order to establish the ways of how communication
between the devices should be done, a service-based and
event-driven orientation has been considered, thus
providing interoperability between different devices and
services [6] and, since devices and users connectivity is the
goal, it is necessary to have services that can be accessed
in various ways, for which it also considers the
management, security, data flow control and processing
within architectures [7].
The architecture proposed in this work includes the
collection, transportation, processing, storage and
reporting of information, to meet the challenges of
interconnection of objects and enable communication
between human and machine [8]. In Figure 1 the physical
and logical constituent elements are shown:1) Data
acquisition device (sensor), which collects information
from the real world, for example, temperature, humidity,
light, among others. 2) Wireless Communication, which
enable devices to perform data transfer via radio frequency
or Bluetooth.3) The micro controller card is responsible
for performing the processing of the data obtained by the
device, as well as granting access and control of these. It is
therefore necessary that it implements a logic and
processing unit that performs the processing of the
collected data in order to convert and transform them into
formats that will be useful for later reading and writing. 4)
Security Layer. Prevents other devices can handle data
reading and writing. 5) Firewall. It contains a series of
rules that allow, in the event of a strike, react and preserve
the logical integrity of the devices.6) Network connection
device, which is an Interface that provides communication
over the Internet with the use of TCP / IP protocols.7) API
Rest data transport. It provides a standardized way to
transport data. It has been widely used for its simplicity
and minimal data consumption at the time of the transfer.
8) Servers. They are the infrastructure that allows
receiving data from the various IoT devices, which are
accessible through the Internet and therefore require
security settings and a firewall.9) Data processing and
classification layer. When the server receives data from
different devices, it must be able to classify them based on
the one that sent them. To do this, it is necessary to
perform information processing. 10) Data Storage. When
received data are saved, it is possible to query and analyze
them at any time. 11) Local user interface. Provides access
to IoT device locally, i.e. performs direct interaction with
the device. 12) Remote user Interface. It provides access
to the device but using a connection through the Internet to
interact with it. 13) Devices control, analysis and
monitoring. It allows controlling IoT devices through
buttons and observing and analyzing collected data
through graphs and widgets.
The open source hardware and software proposed in this
paper (Arduino, Raspberry, Python, MongoDB,
PostgreSQL) have been considered given their
performance, active community, learning curve and
accessibility, so that that they can be easily implemented in
IoT projects.
Data scheme description.
Figure 2 shows how this architecture stores data through
an unstructured scheme that displays the captured basic
information and hierarchy under which storage is
considered. This information, after being processed
through a programming language like Python, can be
stored in a database like MongoDB.
Data presentation.
The way in which data that were captured, processed and
stored by the IoT devices are presented is a critical point.
This is done through platforms or screens and it is
necessary to consider the user experience (UX), taking into
account the behavior and actions that allow users to
understand the presented information [9].
In the platform developed in this work widgets are used.
They allow presenting simple information aesthetically and
understandably to the user
Development IoT Devices
To collect data two IoT devices were developed. Figure 3
shows the outline of Raspberry-based IoT I device, to
which the following devices are connected: Humidity and
temperature sensor, GPS transmitter, alcohol sensor, photo
resistor (LDR), soil humidity sensor, passive infrared
sensor (PIR), microphone, ultrasonic sensor and
potentiometer. Its location is fixed. In Figure 4 the
physical assembly of the device is shown.
In Figure 5 the scheme of IoT II device with a mobile
platform based on Arduino is presented. The following
devices have been used: Photo resistor (LDR), humidity](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/v8i1-1-160916100645/85/Open-Source-Platforms-Integration-for-the-Development-of-an-Architecture-of-Collection-and-Presentation-of-Information-in-Internet-of-Things-Projects-2-320.jpg)

V. CONCLUSION
The architecture proposed in this paper was implemented
in a fast, economical and flexible way. The IoT devices
built functioned correctly, both to gather information
through its sensors and to send it to the server. Access to
information from any computer connected to the Internet,
was also very simple. It is worth mentioning that the data
handled by this platform were very simple, however, it is
intended to test transmission of images and video captured
using a VGA camera as it has been mounted to the mobile
platform shown in Figure 6, which will be reported later.
The potential in this area appears to be very large, given
the versatility of the platforms used and the large number
of devices that can be associated with them. Just an
Internet connection is needed to communicate any kind of
objects anywhere in the world. The breadth of this topic
enables the development of multiple lines of research, such
as the development of smart cities, for example.It is
necessary, however, to analyze the reliability of the IoT
architecture with open source hardware and software to
determine whether it is feasible to entrust it critical tasks.

Figure 6 corresponds to the physical mounting of this device. These devices will be used to validate the case study described below. Case study. To validate the methodology described in the previous section, the following experiment was performed: Built IoT devices were set in different geographical locations. IoT I device in 22 del Bosque street, Col. Los Laureles del Sur, 29290, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, with latitude: 16.705627 and longitude: -92.623613 and IoT II device in 8 Indigenistas street, Col. 14 de septiembre, 29210, San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico, with latitude: 16.746696 and longitude: - 92.634986, as shown in Figure 7. With these devices a monitoring of different magnitudes, such as relative humidity, temperature, light intensity and noise was made. The information collected by each of them, was sent to the server through a 2 Mbps Internet connection.To this end, both IoT devices were connected to the corresponding WiFi module. The information on the server, can already be seen, manipulated and displayed from any computer with an Internet connection. III. RESULTS When performing the experiment described in the previous section, it was noted that the implementation of an IoT architecture with open source hardware and software is very practical, fast and flexible, as there is on the market a variety of devices and sensors of all kinds at very affordable price. There is also vast network information on how to install and configure most of these devices. In this project, the two IoT devices mounted (Arduino and Raspberry), were able to interact without having observed any difficulty. In Figure 8 it can be seen that by the sum, since the connection to the reception there are no more than 500 milliseconds and this is an acceptable time for the processing and storage platform speed. As mentioned in the previous section, an Internet connection of 2 Mbps was used.However, evidence of transmission of more complex data, such as photos or video was not performed. In Figure 9 the temperature values (in Celsius degrees) measured simultaneously by both IoT devices in a certain time interval aredisplayed. The discrepancy of the values obtained by Arduino and Raspberry devices shown isbecause they are located in different places. The other properties measured by the sensors of the IoT devices exhibited similar behavior. In Figure 10 some of the values measured by the sensors of the IoT devices (potentiometer, temperature and relative humidity gauge, distance, light intensity, noise)are displayed. The presentation of data through widgets is very nice and is considered adequate for displaying information of various kinds, without causing confusion to the user. IoT devices could be located in any location with Internet coverage, always getting very similar results, from which it follows that the scope of IoT platforms is practically unlimited. IV.
