IoT Based Weather Station
With the climatic conditions becoming a big concern among the environmentalists, a device that can monitor and stream the temperature differences in the environment is needed. The objective of this project is to develop an electronic device that can sense the temperature/ humidity difference and send the data to the cloud for analytics.

You can use either an Arduino Uno or a Raspberry Pi to act as the microcontroller or simply the brain of the system. If you are using Arduino as your microcontroller, then you need a WiFi module to set up the internet connection. And a DHT sensor (Digital Humidity Temperature sensor) that can detect the temperature differences should be integrated to the system. The sensor will sense the temperature changes constantly and send the data to the microcontroller.

The microcontroller then sends the data to the cloud for storage and analysis purpose. You can also use IOT platforms like ThinkSpeak IoT to integrate the data onto cloud and make some analysis. Further this system can be modified to create some actuations like sending a tweet or switching on any device whenever the temperature/humidity falls below a threshold value.

Project description:

  1. Raspberry Pi: It is a small size minicomputer that is capable of doing small computing and networking operations which can be done by a computer system. Also it comes with GPIO pins which is the main element in the field of internet of things. For instance, Raspberry Pi 3 model has 1.2 GHz 64-bit quad core ARMv8 CPU, and RAM of 1GB. And also it has 40 GPIO pins, Full HDMI port, 4 USB ports, Ethernet port, 802.11n wireless LAN connectiviKit required to develop IoT Based Weather Station:
