IoT Based Humidity and Temperature Monitoring Using Arduino Uno

The document describes a project that uses an Arduino Uno, DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, and ESP8266 WiFi module to read temperature and humidity values from the DHT11 sensor, send the data to ThingSpeak via the ESP8266 module, and display the sensor readings graphically on the ThingSpeak website. The circuit connects the DHT11 sensor to an Arduino Uno, which then sends the sensor data to the ESP8266 WiFi module over serial communication to be transmitted to the ThingSpeak cloud platform.

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 IDE.

ser.println(cmd);

Serial.println(cmd);

if(ser.find("Error")){

Serial.println("AT+CIPSTART error");

return;

String getStr = "GET /update?api_key="; // prepare GET string

getStr += "\r\n\r\n";

ser.println(cmd);

Serial.println(cmd);

ser.print(getStr);

Serial.print(getStr);

else{

ser.println("AT+CIPCLOSE"); // closing connection

Serial.println("AT+CIPCLOSE");

}
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.
