IoT Based Humidity and Temperature Monitoring Using Arduino Uno

This document describes an IoT project that monitors temperature and humidity using an Arduino Uno, DHT11 sensor, and ESP8266 WiFi module. The DHT11 sensor measures the temperature and humidity, which is sent to the Arduino. The Arduino then sends this sensor data via the ESP8266 module to the ThingSpeak cloud platform. Code is provided to initialize the sensors, connect to WiFi, and transmit the sensor readings to ThingSpeak where the data can be viewed graphically over time.

IoT Based Humidity and Temperature Monitoring

Using Arduino Uno

Introduction
Using Internet of Things (IOT), we can control any electronic equipment in
homes and industries. Moreover, you can read a data from any sensor and
analyse it graphically from anywhere in the world. Here, we can read
temperature and humidity data from DHT11 sensor and upload it to a
ThingSpeak cloud using Arduino Uno and ESP8266-01 module. Arduino
Uno is MCU, it fetch a data of humidity and temperature from DHT11
sensor and Process it and give it to a ESP8266 Module.ESP8266 is a WiFi
module, it is one of the leading platform for Internet of Things. It can
transfer a data to IOT cloud.

Hardware Requirements
• Arduino Uno
• ESP8266-01
• DHT11
• AMS1117-3.3V
• 9V battery

Software Requirements
• Arduino IDE

Circuit and Working


First make the connection as
shown in fig: 1.1.The 2nd pin
is of DHT11 is a data pin, it
can send a temperature and
humidity value to the 5th pin
of Arduino Uno.1st and
4th pin of DHT11 is a Vcc and
Gnd and 3rd pin is no
connection. The Arduino
Uno process a temperature and humidity value and send it to a ESP8266
WiFi module. The Tx and Rx pin of ESP8266 is connected to the 2nd (Rx) and
3rd (Tx) of Arduino Uno. Make sure that input voltage of ESP8266 must be
3.3V, not a 5V (otherwise it would damage a device).For that, we are using
AMS1117 Voltage regulator circuit. It can regulate a voltage from 9V to
3.3V and will give it to Vcc pin of ESP8266.The Ch_Pd is a chip enable pin
of ESP8266 and should be pullup to 3.3V through 3.3KΩ resistor. For reset
the module pull down the RST pin of ESP8266 to Gnd.ESP8266 have 2
GPIO pins GPIO 0 and GPIO 2.

Construction and Testing


ThingSpeak is an open source platform to store and retrieve a data for
Internet of Things application. To use this, you need to register in
ThingSpeak cloud and then login to your account. After create a new
channel with temperature in one field and humidity in another field as
shown in Fig: 1.2. Once you created a new channel, it will generate a two
API keys, they are READ API keys and WRITE API keys. First, copy the
WRITE API keys from ThingsSpeak and paste it into the line (String apiKey
= "OX9T8Y9OL9HD0UBP";) of the program. Next, replace the Host_Name
and Password with your WiFi name and WiFi password in the two lines
given below in the program. (String Host_Name = "Pantech" and String
Password = "pantech123")
The Arduino program Uses DHT library, if it is not presented in your
arduino IDE, select SketchàInclude libraryàManage librariesàInstall DHT
Sensor library. Then compile the program and upload to a Arduino Uno
through Arduino IDE. Ensure that WiFi modem and internet connection in
your Smartphone or PC are working properly. After uploaded a program,
the Temperature and Humidity data is uploaded on ThingSpeak platform.
You can see it graphically in the private view window of your channel as
shown in Fig: 1.3. And you can able to see the uploaded data from serial
port of Arduino ID

Other Applications
We can also include a sensor like gas, infrared, ultrasonic sensors based on
their requirements. Moreover, it is possible to control the relay, actuators
through internet once a sensor values are going above/below
predetermined values
