Design of a Microcontroller Based Internet of Things Based Weather Station
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 8
Abstract
Information about environmental conditions around us is usually obtained either from television or radio broadcasting. The world has changed, people are nowadays too occupied to find time to listen to or watch a weather channel. This paper proposes an Internet of Things(IOT) based solution which can convey real time informationabout environmental conditions to users with an internet connection either via a personal computer or a smart phone. The system proposed in this paper uploads data from environmental sensors to a cloud based IoT platform known asThingspeak. Thingspeak has two primary functions: plotting of data and storage of data. The main reason for sending information to a server is to enable the information to be accessed anywhere in the world at any time of the day. The system consists of sensors and circuitry to compile as well as display environmental conditions like temperature, relative humidity, light intensity and carbon monoxide levels. The core of the project is the Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller and the ESP8266-01 Wi-Fi module of which all devices/sensors are connected. The code is written using the Arduino IDE before it is uploaded onto the board. Once the code is uploaded, the system is connected to Wi-Fi through the ESP8266-01 board. Though the proposed system only monitors temperature, humidity, light intensity and carbon monoxide levels in the atmosphere, it can be made scalable to accommodate more sensors. This project also lays down concepts on how an organization can implement their own IOT based weather station that is suitable for their needs such as for weather monitoring or farm production.
