This article describes how to connect to PhotosynQ and some of the features of a cloud service. The focus is on organizing communication between the web service and the Internet of Things. An example and procedure for inte-grating a number of digital encoders that are not included in the list support-ed by the default platform through modification of the open-source base firmware is given. It has been suggested that in the future, a number of tools can be designed in the future, including for environmental monitoring, us-ing basic digital sensors included in the so-called Arduino UNO Kit kits and more. It is emphasized that the PhotosynQ web platform, which is related to the SaaS cloud computing model, is an environment for collecting, analyz-ing, deriving and discussing results where research protocols and calculation procedures are open access. Its primary focus is only on working with a spe-cific list of dashboards, offset by the openness of the software itself, which provides communication with the platform.
