IoT Based Temperature Monitoring System

IoT Projects, , , ,

Measuring temperature is one of the most common technique used because it is important for many operations and tasks to be performed like in any industries where heaters are used, heat up to a certain temperature is required. When it comes to sensing temperature, a temperature sensor is used that is installed at a place whose temperature is to be sensed. The temperature of that place can be monitored through internet using internet of things.

Monitoring is employed in various applications,including temperature, pressure, flow rate, capacity, acceleration, and so on. According to the quantities, distribution and detected frequency of the monitored objects, there are different monitoring methods to acquire the measurements. Several problems usually occur during the monitoring process of the temperature in a room. For example, a server room must be kept between 15 to 20 degree Celsius to monitor a temperature in or else the server might crash and can cause a loss of hundreds thousands. Management has to choose either to place a person to monitor the temperature, or to save on human capital by developing a system that can monitor the temperature from other places at any given time.

In order to solve the problem, the web-based temperature monitoring system that can be access anywhere and anytime through the Internet is build. With this system a user can remotely monitor the room temperature from anywhere which could save the human expenses. IoT WebBased Temperature Monitoring is one type of temperature recorder that monitors a temperature in a room and stores the data into a database and display the current temperature on the website through a web server. The system will continuously monitor the temperature condition of the room and the data can be monitored at anytime and anywhere from the Internet. The temperature monitoring is widely used in various processes like in automotive industries, air conditioning, power plant and other industries that need the data to be saved and analyzed. The main purpose of this system model is to make it easy for the user to view the current temperature.

Circuit Design

ESP8266 is used as main  hardware for Temperature Monitoring system, We can connect Temperature sensor LM35 directly to the ESP8266, It gives 10mV per degree centigrade.

  2. how to include index.h header file in program? it shows error as compilation terminated… when i remove the header ‘MAIN_page’ is not declared in this scope..
