Wireless Environmental Data Tracking System Design and Evaluation with a Multifunctional Device

Abstract

Wireless environmental monitoring devices are in demand. These devices, which are also referred to as IoT (Internet of Things) devices, will be of vital importance in the next decade. The objective of this study is to propose a prototype system that can collect the environmental data using sensors, and transfers the data using a wireless network to a remote database for storage. The system was tested and verified by confirming that the monitoring data was stored in the remote database server. As a result, despite the set temperature of 20 degrees, the temperature fluctuated between 21 to 23 degrees. Our future work will involve using more sensors in the device so that it can collect multiple data, such as humidity, images, and the location. Furthermore, the author needs to deploy an actuator for physical control and improve the system’s power supply so that it can be used outdoors.
