About ThingSpeak
ThingSpeak is an IoT analytics platform service that allows you to aggregate, visualize, and analyze live data streams in the cloud. You can
send data to ThingSpeak from your devices, create instant visualization of live data, and send alerts.

Collect (/pages/how_to)
Send sensor data privately to the cloud.

Analyze (/pages/how_to#analyze)
Analyze and visualize your data with MATLAB.

Act (/pages/how_to#act)
Trigger a reaction.

Featured Projects and Customer Stories

Energy Data Analysis

Cadmus used MATLAB and ThingSpeak to deploy a system of cloud-connected sensors for the near-real-time measurement and analysis of energy data.
The system uses off-the-shelf hardware to monitor and analyze loads of HVAC systems and large appliances.

Tide Prediction
This project shows how to prototype and deploy an IoT system with data analytics without developing custom web software. Specifically, a tidal
forecasting system that uses neural networks to predict the effect of wind on water levels is described.

Traffic Monitor
This project shows how to build a traffic monitor with a Raspberry Pi and a webcam. Simulink is used to design and deploy an algorithm onto the
Raspberry Pi that calculates the density of cars on a busy highway. The traffic information is sent to ThingSpeak, and MATLAB is used to analyze and
visualize the traffic patterns.

Weather Station
This project shows how to build an Arduino-based weather station that sends data to ThingSpeak. Once the data is collected, MATLAB is used to view
trends of the data, plot histograms of the data, calculate dew point from the raw temperature and humidity data, and create custom visualizations.
