INTRODUCTION

Weather conditions play a vital role in our daily lives,


and monitoring them is essential for various industries
such as agriculture, aviation, and emergency services.
The aim of this project is to design and develop a
weather condition monitoring device that can collect
and transmit real-time data on temperature, humidity,
wind speed, and rainfall to a cloud-based platform.

Objectives:

1. Design and develop a weather condition monitoring


device using sensors and microcontrollers.
2. Implement a wireless communication protocol (Wi-
Fi/LoRa) to transmit data to a cloud-based platform.
3. Develop a cloud-based dashboard to visualize and
analyze the collected data.
4. Integrate alerts and notifications for extreme weather
conditions.

ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system-on-


chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-
mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series employs either a
Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core
and single-core variations, an Xtensa LX7 dual-core
microprocessor, or a single-core RISC-V
microprocessor and includes built-in antenna switches,
RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive
amplifier, filters, and power-management modules. It
is commonly found either on device-specific PCBs or
on a range of development boards with GPIO pins and
various connectors depending on the model and
manufacturer of the board.
ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems,
a Chinese company based in Shanghai, and is
manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process. It is
a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.

The MQ-2 Gas sensor can detect or measure gasses like


LPG, Alcohol, Propane, Hydrogen, CO, and even
methane. The module version of this sensor comes with
a Digital Pin which makes this sensor to operate even
without a microcontroller and that comes in handy
when you are only trying to detect one particular gas.
When it comes to measuring the gas in ppm the analog
pin has to be used, the analog pin also TTL driven and
works on 5V and hence can be used with most common
microcontrollers.
Applications
• Detects or measure Gases like LPG, Alcohol,
Propane,
• Hydrogen, CO and even methane
• Air quality monitor
• Gas leak alarm
• Safety standard maintenance
• Maintaining environment standards in hospitals

MQ135 Air Quality Sensor : Pin Configuration,


Working & Its Applications
A device that is used to detect or measure or monitor
the gases like ammonia, benzene, sulfur, carbon
dioxide, smoke, and other harmful gases are called as
an air quality gas sensor. The MQ135 air quality
sensor, which belongs to the series of MQ gas sensors,
is widely used to detect harmful gases, and smoke in
the fresh air. This article gives a brief description of
how to measure and detect gases by using an MQ135
air quality sensor.

The alternatives for the MQ135 air quality


sensor/detector are MQ-2 (methane, LPG, butane, and
smoke), MQ-3 (alcohol, smoke, and ethanol), MQ-4
(CNG gas and methane), MQ-5 (natural gas, and LPG),
MQ-6 (butane and LPG), MQ-7 (CO), MQ-8
(Hydrogen), MQ-9 (CO, and flammable gases),
MQ131 (ozone), MQ136 (Hydrogen sulfide gas),
MQ137 (ammonia), MQ138 (benzene, alcohol,
propane, toluene, formaldehyde gas, and hydrogen),
MQ214 (methane, and natural gas), MQ303A (alcohol,
smoke, Ethanol), MQ306A (LPG and butane),
MQ307A(CO), MQ309A(CO and flammable gas).
What is an MQ135 Air Quality Sensor?
An MQ135 air quality sensor is one type of MQ gas
sensor used to detect, measure, and monitor a wide
range of gases present in air like ammonia, alcohol,
benzene, smoke, carbon dioxide, etc. It operates at a 5V
supply with 150mA consumption. Preheating of 20
seconds is required before the operation, to obtain the
accurate output.

Literature Survey
ESP32 Air Quality Monitoring System using Nova PM
SDS011 sensor, MQ-7 sensor, and DHT11 sensor. We
will also be using an OLED Display module to display
Air Quality Values. The Air Quality Index (AQI) in
India is based on eight pollutants, PM10, PM2.5, SO2
and NO2, CO, Ozone, NH3, and Pb. However, it is not
necessary to measure all of the pollutants. So we are
going to measure the concentration of PM2.5, PM10,
and Carbon Monoxide to calculate the Air Quality
Index. The AQI values will be published on Adafruit
IO so that we can monitor it from anywhere. Previously
we have also measured the concentration of LPG,
Smoke, and Ammonia gas using Arduino.
Components Required
• ESP32
• Nova PM Sensor SDS011
• 0.96’ SPI OLED Display Module
• DHT11 Sensor
• MQ-7 Sensor
• Jumper Wires
