A Novel Environmental Monitoring System for Real Time using Arduino and Node JS

Abstract

TheInternet of Things (IoT) is playing a vital role in our daily lives in order toaccomplish tasks byincorporating the use of sensor networks encompassing our environment. The systems developed to observe the physical tendency that creates data and the created data is stored in the cloud. The stored information is then utilized for designing applications for controlling necessary actions. This paperdescribes the application and experimentation of a system composed of sensors for monitoring temperature and humidity of the area surrounding. This observed information isused to perform ephemeral actions such as, controlling the electronic gadgets for warming or cooling that takes more time. The recorded data is loaded to cloud for storage and furtheraccessed through an Android application and displays the results to the mobile-users. The framework presented in this paper employed Arduino UNO board, DHT11 sensor, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, which makes information to open IoT based API administration ThingSpeak through which it is investigated and keptaside. An Android application is created which gets to the cloud and shows results for end-clients through REST API Web administration. The experimental results shown prove the effectiveness of the system.
