It must be carried out frequently and at a multitude of points; thus, the ideal method is to utilize automated monitoring systems, which use sensors based on many transducers, such as Ion Selective Electrodes (ISE). These devices have multiple advantages, but their management via traditional methods (i.e., manual sampling and measurements) is rather complex. Wireless Sensor Networks have been used in these environments, but there is no standard way to take advantage of the benefits of new Internet of Things (IoT) environments. To deal with this, an IoT-based generic architecture for chemical parameter monitoring systems is proposed and applied to the development of an intelligent potassium sensing system, and this is described in detail in this paper. This sensing system provides fast and simple deployment, interference rejection, increased reliability, and easy application development. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method that takes advantage of Cloud services by applying them to the development of a potassium smart sensing system, which is integrated into an IoT environment for use in water monitoring applications. The results obtained are in good agreement (correlation coefficient = 0.9942) with those of reference methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22030842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]],"date-time":"2022-01-23T20:36:27Z","timestamp":1642970187000},"page":"842","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["IoT Technologies in Chemical Analysis Systems: Application to Potassium Monitoring in Water"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0558-7683","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 C.","family":"Campelo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ITACA), Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Camino de Vera s\/n, 46071 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3879-9826","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan V.","family":"Capella","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ITACA), Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Camino de Vera s\/n, 46071 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael","family":"Ors","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ITACA), Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Camino de Vera s\/n, 46071 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3142-0529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miguel","family":"Peris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Camino de Vera s\/n, 46071 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3639-8420","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Bonastre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (ITACA), Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia, Camino de Vera s\/n, 46071 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122877","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclepro.2020.122877","article-title":"Internet of Things (IoT): Opportunities, issues and challenges towards a smart and sustainable future","volume":"274","author":"Patrono","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
