Big data analytics, cloud computing & internet of things are a smart triad which have started shaping our future towards smart home, city, business, country. Internet of things is a convergence of intelligent networks, electronic devices, and cloud computing. The source of big data at different connected electronic devices is stored on cloud server for analytics. Cloud provides the readymade infrastructure, remote processing power to consumers of internet of things. Cloud computing also gives device manufacturers and service providers access to ―advanced analytics and monitoring‖, ―communication between services and devices‖, ―user privacy and security‖. This paper, presents an overview of internet of things, role of cloud computing & big data analytics towards IoT. In this paper IoT enabled automatic irrigation system is proposed that saves data over ―ThingSpeak‖ database an IoT analytics platform through ESP8266 wifi module. This paper also summarizes the application areas and discusses the challenges of IoT.
