ThingSpeak for Energy Monitoring

Use Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to monitor and understand your energy use. Energy IoT can help you meet your operational efficiency targets when you store and analyze your sensor data in ThingSpeak™.

See instant visualizations of energy data posted from your sensors
Execute MATLAB® code in ThingSpeak, perform online analysis and data processing with live data, and see automatic visualizations
Build IoT systems without setting up servers or developing web software

For small- to medium-sized IoT systems, ThingSpeak provides a hosted solution that you can use in production.

Monitor energy use and consumption to increase efficiency and investigate consumption patterns.

Derive Insights from Your Energy Data

ThingSpeak is an IoT analytics platform service from MathWorks®, the makers of MATLAB and Simulink®.

Create live energy analysis to increase energy use efficiency
Provide continuous measurement of consumption
Apply advanced analytics from MATLAB to your energy data, including machine learning and statistical models

Cadmus Collects and Analyzes Energy Data in Near Real Time Using MATLAB and the ThingSpeak Internet of Things Platform

Wind-driven tide forecast plot based on MATLAB machine learning and ThingSpeak. Inputs to the neural networks include forecasted wind speed and direction from the National Weather Service, recent wind speed and direction from NOAA, and the forecasted astronomical tide calculated using UTide.

Developing an IoT Analytics System with MATLAB, Machine Learning, and ThingSpeak

Swarm chart plot showing wind speed measurements grouped in vertical columns for each hour of the day. The width of the column at a given height relates to the number of values at that y-axis range. Measurements come from the weather station on the parking garage at the MathWorks headquarters.

Generate custom complex or simple visualizations of your real-world data.

Perform Advanced Analysis and Visualization

ThingSpeak always runs the latest version of MATLAB so you can process your cloud data in MATLAB.

Access the most recent plots in MATLAB such as swarm plots, bubblecharts, bubblechart3, and polarbubblecharts
Use MATLAB in ThingSpeak to generate custom plots such as location, temperature, and soil moisture all on the same map
Access your data from the cloud to generate insights, or import data from other services and then trigger alerts
See examples

Interact with ThingSpeak through MATLAB

You can import your ThingSpeak data into MATLAB for advanced processing or to build interactive apps. Use the resources below to get started.

Learn how to use a MATLAB app to visualize ThingSpeak data. Then learn how to build your own app with App Designer. You can make time comparisons of your data, retime or average data, and export data.
