An IoT-Based Real-Time Weather Monitoring System Using Telegram Bot and Thingsboard Platform

Abstract

The advancement of technology, particularly in the field of IoT, encourages automation in the field of meteorology, particularly the observation of real-time meteorological data. Meteorological data is required, particularly in specific areas such as mining regions; this data can be utilized to enhance worker safety and environmental management in connection to dust and poisonous gases, runoff during the rainy season, and chemical discharges into waterways. By assembling an ESP32 microcontroller with SHTC3, BMP180, wind speed, wind direction, and tipping bucket sensors, it is possible to create IoT monitoring devices that measure the primary components of weather parameters, including temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind direction, wind speed, and precipitation. Protocols for data transfer via MQTT, WebSocket, and HTTP requests make use of the most recent open source platforms, especially Thingsboard and Telegram Chatbot. BMKG's National Digital API is used to augment sensor data in real-time with weather forecast information. The weather monitoring device is effectively utilized, and the user may request realtime data whenever and wherever it is required from their mobile phone
