IoT Project Report: Smart Home

Temperature & Humidity Monitoring


System
1. Introduction (System Analysis)
This project is a Smart Home IoT system that measures and monitors temperature and
humidity in real time using a DHT11 sensor connected to an ESP32 development board. The
collected data is visualized on a web-based dashboard hosted via an HTTP server on the
ESP32 using Wi-Fi.

Functional Requirements:

 - Real-time temperature and humidity monitoring


 - Wireless data communication via Wi-Fi
 - Visual feedback via Serial Monitor and web GUI
 - Alerts if temperature or humidity crosses threshold

Significance:

Monitoring environmental conditions helps improve indoor air quality, prevent mold
growth, and optimize HVAC usage for energy efficiency.

3. Code (Client-side on ESP32)


The following code runs on the ESP32 to read sensor data and serve it over a local web
page:

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <DHT.h>

#define DHTPIN 4
#define DHTTYPE DHT11

DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

const char* ssid = "Your_SSID";


const char* password = "Your_PASSWORD";

WiFiServer server(80);

void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
dht.begin();

WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
delay(1000);
Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
}

Serial.println("WiFi connected");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());

server.begin();
}

void loop() {
WiFiClient client = server.available();
if (client) {
float temp = dht.readTemperature();
float hum = dht.readHumidity();

String html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><body><h1>Environment Monitor</h1>";


html += "<p>Temperature: " + String(temp) + " °C</p>";
html += "<p>Humidity: " + String(hum) + " %</p></body></html>";

client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");


client.println("Content-type:text/html");
client.println();
client.println(html);
client.stop();
}
}

4. Implementation & Testing Snapshots


Include snapshots from your simulation environment showing:

 - Circuit design in Tinkercad or Wokwi


 - Serial Monitor showing sensor output
 - Screenshot of the web dashboard
 - ESP32 connected to Wi-Fi and displaying IP address

5. Protocols Used
Protocol Description
I2C/UART Communication between DHT11 and
ESP32
Wi-Fi (802.11) Wireless communication for data transfer
HTTP Web server on ESP32 for GUI
HTML For rendering the data on browser GUI

6. Discussion on Issues & Privacy


Challenges: Sensor inaccuracy (~±2°C), occasional Wi-Fi disconnections.

Privacy/Security: The web server is hosted locally and not encrypted (no HTTPS). For
higher security, implement password access and TLS encryption.
