The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained significant research interest as one of the recent developments in cyberspace technologies. The influence of the Internet, data collection, and interpretation in everyday physical objects play a crucial role in supporting community and industry. This project was initiated to develop a Monitoring System using IoT in Outdoor Development Centre (ODEC) by using efficient messaging protocols for the Coastal Recreational Suitability Project, a collaboration project between the Faculty of Computing and Informatics and the Faculty of Science and Natural Resources (FSSA) Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The first problem statement provides an easier way to record the data daily and easily monitor the changes. Nowadays, they record the data manually and are not publicly available. Thus, a web-based system will help them visualize the data much better using an IoT rather than manually plotting the graph. This can help monitor the environment on the ODEC beach. The second problem statement is the challenge to deploy and select the standard and effective messaging protocol. The required protocols vary according to the IoT device configuration and the messaging requirement for the situation. Even though IoTs are seen as sensor actuators limited in processing and storage capabilities, the messaging protocol is essential so the IoT devices can work with high efficiency. Messaging protocol is a persistent challenge to IoT industries. Therefore, it is vital to consider each protocol's advantages and disadvantages to determine the best-fit scenarios. This project will specifically look for the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) approach as a communication medium between a sensor and a web-based system. A quantitative approach will be employed to evaluate several well-known current data interchange protocols, especially for MQTT. After implementing the MQTT protocol to the system, the evaluation and tests will present the analysis using MQTT. The next stage will involve designing the web-based system for coastal recreational suitability using MQTT via SocketIO.
