The "Internet of Things" is one of the most exciting topics around these days. Millions of internet enabled gadgets sending data to a data storage & reporting server, and retrieving data back for local control or display.
Our last post described sending sensor data to a server. Today we will discuss more about setting up that server. We are using a hosting service (Hostgator) which gives easy control panel access to html directories, email accounts, and MySQL databases.
Learn to monitor and control your home & environment with self contained, inter-communicating microprocessors. Arduino / Raspberry Pi DAQ and IOT Applications include ham radio, robotics, weather stations, model railroading, toys and more. - KK4HFJ

Sending sensor data to a web server
Build your own IOT service! Collect sensor data and send it to a web/database server.
Today's project uses an Arduino equipped with a Ethernet shield, and a DHT-11 temperature / humidity sensor.
Arduino UNO
Arduino Ethernet Shield
DHT-11 Module
(ESP8266 / BME280 Version)
(UNO / WiFi BME280 Version)
The Arduino reads the DHT-11, and submits the data to a php script on a hosted web server. That php page inserts the data into a mySQL database, and another php page creates a web page displaying the data as you can see below.
