Web Based Environmental Monitoring System Using Arduino Microcontroller

Abstract

Environmental quality is one of the most important natural factors, air is one of the most important environmental factors in life and its quality needs to be maintained and improved so that it can support living things, especially humans. The need for data regarding environmental conditions has encouraged people to create tools that can determine the condition of an environment in real-time. The existence of this system will make it easier for researchers to see the quality of an environment, making it easier for researchers to get environmental quality data from anywhere, just by using Arduino tools or from monitoring websites. The Arduino tool that is assembled with the Ethernet Shield 5100 module makes this microcontroller able to connect to the internet. Meanwhile, for interfacing with the internet using a web server that provides a display from a browser, the parameters monitored consist of 3 parameters, namely dust, temperature, and humidity. The results of this study are an environmental monitoring system that can simplify and help ease the user in carrying out environmental monitoring in real time. Further development for the future that can integrated to the mobile platform as the data in cloud computing.
