Laravel and Vue.js as tools to control IoT devices over the internet. Current state-of-the-art.

Abstract

Looking around us, we can notice that the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are becoming indispensable. In an era where communication via the Internet is driving our lives, and the control of IoT equipment is increasingly popular, the development of web applications to allow the control of this equipment is in a continuous evolution. The evolution and diversification of web applications has created a favorable environment for the development and diversification of web servers and for the development of server-side and client-side programming technologies. Another important aspect is the security and protection of data transmitted over the Internet. This study presents an analysis of the current status of web applications development for controlling IoT devices using Laravel and Vue.js technologies, the evolution of web servers used to run web applications, respectively the evolution of technologies used to develop application programming server side and client side. The work focuses on the presentation of IoT-specific communication protocols, on the presentation of the possibilities of connecting Laravel to IoT equipment and on the transmission of this data in the user interface. Possibilities for securing connections and encrypting transmitted data are analyzed and presented.
