# How to Use Xively Platform in an IoT Project

> How to Use Xively Platform in an IoT Project

Original author: Francesco Azzola (source: https://dzone.com/articles/how-to-use-xively-platform-in-iot-project)

## Article

This tutorial explores how to use Xively and how to connect a “smart object” to Xively platform. In our example, we will connect Arduino to Xively platform sending sensor data. At the end, we will explore how to use the information stored in Xively to create dashboard.

Before starting it is useful to look at Xively IoT platform.

Xively is an IoT cloud platform that is “an enterprise platform for building, managing, and deriving business value from connected products”. Moreover, it provides a cloud-based API with an SDK that simplifies the development process. It supports several platforms and technologies:

- Android

- Arduino

- Arm mbed

- C

- Java
