In Bolt Iot course has mentioned about html then what is the use of html language into the iot projects.
Using IOT devices and programming language like python and Javascript you can fetch the data and do some operations on it. But after doing this in order to understand the output of the operations we need visualization of this data and output. HTML helps to develop web-based page and visualization tools to display the data. For a better understanding of customers or users of the product.
For Example:
Using of temperature sensor and BOLT IOT device we can collect the data of temperature. but when we want to visualize it on the web we need HTML.
HTML - Front End
Python/JavaScript - Back End

HTML is used to show the world the output, in this case html is helpful like suppose a case in which your iot device need to fetch some data from the internet, to show what data is used and from where html is used and it acts as a front end. Another case is to show others the output of your iot device which can be used later by others, it helps in Data Visualization.
Bolt has provided a standard user interface that the users can use to interact with iot devices from your laptop or smartphones.
But in case you need a different user interface that can suit your purpose better, in this case html can be used to create the user interface.
Also we use javascript to write the commands for the iot, so html and javascript can work together with it.
HTML serves a crucial role in two key scenarios within the realm of IoT (Internet of Things). Firstly, HTML plays a pivotal role in presenting data obtained from the internet through an IoT device, serving as a user-friendly front-end interface. In this context, HTML acts as a visual tool to showcase the data source and the information being retrieved.
Secondly, HTML is invaluable for sharing the results generated by an IoT device with others. It enables effective data visualization, making the collected information accessible and comprehensible to a broader audience. This visual representation of IoT data enhances its utility for future reference and analysis by different stakeholders.
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a standard markup language used to create web pages 1. It is used to structure content on the web and define how it should be displayed in a browser 1. HTML is not directly related to IoT (Internet of Things), but it can be used in conjunction with IoT to create web-based interfaces for IoT devices 2.
For example, an IoT device that collects data from sensors can use HTML to display the data on a webpage. The webpage can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, allowing users to monitor the device remotely 2.
HTML can also be used to create dashboards that display real-time data from multiple IoT devices. These dashboards can be customized to show only the data that is relevant to the user 2.
In summary, HTML is not directly related to IoT, but it can be used in conjunction with IoT to create web-based interfaces and dashboards for IoT devices.
HTML is used in IoT in two key scenarios:
- Presenting data obtained from the internet through an IoT device: HTML can be used to create a user-friendly front-end interface for IoT devices to display data that they have collected from the internet. This could include data from sensors, weather forecasts, or financial markets. HTML can be used to format the data in a visually appealing and easy-to-understand way, and to provide users with the ability to interact with the data in meaningful ways.
- Sharing the results generated by an IoT device with others: HTML can be used to create data visualizations that make the collected information accessible and comprehensible to a broader audience. This could include graphs, charts, and tables that show trends and patterns in the data. HTML can also be used to create interactive dashboards that allow users to drill down into the data and explore it in more detail.
It’s important to note that while HTML is used for the front-end presentation and interaction layer of IoT applications, the core logic, data processing, and communication with IoT devices are typically handled by back-end systems, microcontrollers, and IoT platforms using languages like Python, JavaScript, C/C++, and communication protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, or HTTP.
In IoT courses like Bolt IoT, HTML is introduced as part of the broader IoT ecosystem to enable students to create web-based interfaces for their IoT projects, enhancing the user experience and providing a practical way to interact with IoT devices.
In order to complete the project you are building, you need this things:-
- HTML/CSS - For Front-End.
- JavaScript/Python - For Back-End
- IOT and Sensors - For Hardware
HTML can be related to IoT:
- Web-Based User Interfaces: IoT devices often have web-based user interfaces that allow users to interact with and control them remotely through a web browser. HTML is used to create the web pages and user interfaces that users access to monitor and control their IoT devices.
- IoT Dashboards: HTML can be used to design dashboards and data visualization interfaces for IoT applications. These dashboards can display real-time data from IoT sensors and devices in a user-friendly format, making it easier for users to understand and make decisions based on the data.
- Configuration and Management: HTML can be used for configuring and managing IoT devices through web-based portals. Users and administrators can access these portals to update settings, perform firmware updates, and monitor the status of their IoT devices.
- Data Presentation: HTML can be used to present IoT data in a human-readable format. IoT devices often generate large amounts of data, and HTML can be used to structure and display this data in a way that is easy for users to understand.
- Reporting and Alerts: HTML can be used to generate reports and alerts in IoT systems. For example, when certain conditions or thresholds are met, an IoT system can generate HTML-based reports or notifications that are sent to users or administrators via email or other messaging services.
It’s important to note that while HTML can be a useful tool for creating user interfaces and visualizing data in IoT applications, the core functionality and communication between IoT devices often rely on other technologies and protocols, such as MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, and various networking protocols. HTML is just one component of the overall IoT ecosystem, and its use is typically limited to the presentation layer of IoT applications.
HTML itself doesn’t directly interact with IoT devices, it plays a crucial role in creating the user interfaces and dashboards that enable users to interact with, monitor, manage, and configure IoT devices and their data.
While HTML is not directly involved in the low-level functions of IoT devices (such as sensor data collection, communication protocols, or device control), it plays a crucial role in creating user-friendly interfaces and web-based applications that enhance the user experience and provide essential tools for monitoring and controlling IoT devices.
-
User Interface: In many IoT projects, you need to create a user interface for users to interact with the IoT device or view data generated by it. HTML can be used to design web-based dashboards and control panels. These interfaces can be accessed from a web browser on a computer or a mobile device. HTML is essential for creating the structure and layout of these web pages.
-
Data Visualization: IoT devices often generate data that needs to be displayed in a human-readable format. HTML can be used in conjunction with JavaScript and CSS to create charts, graphs, and other visual representations of IoT data.
-
Remote Monitoring and Control: IoT applications often involve remote monitoring and control. HTML pages can be hosted on a server or embedded in IoT devices, allowing users to remotely access and control their devices through a web interface.
Above is a JavaScript powered frontend for Temperature Detection using LM35.
Therefore, it’s a valuable skill to have in the context of IoT development, especially for frontend and web-based IoT applications.
Using IOT devices and programming language like python and Javascript you can fetch the data and do some operations on it. But after doing this in order to understand the output of the operations we need visualization of this data and output.

HTML is a language used in web development as well as in IOT ,so due to its simplicity ,it is used in storing data on the cloud.
HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language, is a standard markup language used for creating web pages and applications. HTML itself may not be directly related to IoT projects, it can still play a major role in various aspects of IoT development.
HTML can be used for creating user interfaces and dashboards to visualize and interact with the data collected from IoT devices. It allows developers to design and structure the layout of web pages, display sensor data, and provide controls for users to interact with the IoT system.
Thus, HTML is just one component of web development and IoT projects often involve other technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and other programming languages to create dynamic and interactive web applications.
HTML can be used to create web-based dashboards that display real-time data from IoT devices
First of all HTML stands for hyper text markup language. It is a programming language wich is used to give a structure to a website , webpage etc. In IOT ( internet of things) HTML is very useful it is usde to display any information graphically or any other form. It is used for performing functions by the use of buttons. And many more. 
Thank you!
