The Internet of Things (IoT) technology connects multiple types of physical devices with different functionalities, communication protocols, and capabilities. With the advance progresses in IoT technology, the provision of a platform that allows the users of IoT to communicate and interact directly with their connected devices and manage and control them easily and smoothly through that platform from anywhere at any time becomes a necessity. This will protect the users’ privacy when they use their IoT devices. This paper aims to develop a website application that addresses these challenges and provides real-time data management. As a result, we designed a user-interface prototype, which demonstrates the idea of IoT website manager and provides a trial version of the implementation. Since the suggested platform is aimed to improve the user’s insight about the IoT devices, the proposed prototype creates a platform that enables the user to control different types of IoT devices remotely. Also, the website prototype indicates that it is a user-friendly platform, can be used effortlessly, and does not need any technical experience. Users can access and collect information concerning their connected IoT devices and monitor, manage and control them.
