Micro-project Report

Internet of Things (314006)


Temperature Monitoring System with LED Indicator
1. Introduction

This micro-project is based on the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor, which measures
temperature and displays it on the serial monitor. Additionally, an LED indicator provides a
visual alert when the temperature exceeds 30°C. The system is implemented using an Arduino
board with the DHT11 sensor and an LED.

2. Objectives

 To measure real-time temperature and humidity using the DHT11 sensor.


 To provide a visual warning using an LED when the temperature exceeds 30°C.
 To implement embedded programming using Arduino C++.
 To enhance understanding of IoT-based environmental monitoring.

3. Components Used

 DHT11 Temperature & Humidity Sensor


 ESP8266/Arduino Board
 LED (Light Emitting Diode)
 Jumper Wires

4. Circuit Diagram
5. Working Principle

 The DHT11 sensor continuously measures temperature and humidity.


 The microcontroller reads the temperature value from the DHT11 sensor.
 If the temperature exceeds 30°C, the LED turns ON. Otherwise, it remains OFF.
 The measured temperature and humidity values are printed on the serial monitor.

6. Code

#include <DHT.h>

#define DHTPIN 2 // Pin where the DHT11 data pin is connected


#define DHTTYPE DHT11 // DHT 11 type
#define LEDPIN 3 // Pin where the LED is connected

DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE); // Initialize the DHT11 sensor

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication
dht.begin(); // Initialize the DHT11 sensor
pinMode(LEDPIN, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an OUTPUT
Serial.println("Humidity and Temperature Monitoring");
delay(2000); // Delay for sensor stabilization
}

void loop() {
float h = dht.readHumidity(); // Read humidity
float t = dht.readTemperature(); // Read temperature in Celsius

// Check if any reading failed


if (isnan(h) || isnan(t)) {
Serial.println("Failed to read from DHT sensor!");
return;
}

// Print the humidity and temperature values


Serial.print("Humidity: ");
Serial.print(h);
Serial.print(" %\t");
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(t);
Serial.println(" *C");

// If the temperature is above 30°C, turn on the LED


if (t >= 30.0) {
digitalWrite(LEDPIN, HIGH); // Turn on the LED
Serial.println("LED ON! Temperature is above 30°C.");
} else {
digitalWrite(LEDPIN, LOW); // Turn off the LED
Serial.println("LED OFF.");
}

delay(2000); // Wait for 2 seconds before taking another reading


}
