This paper describes the design of an operative prototype based on Internet of Things (IoT) concepts for real time monitoring of various environmental conditions using certain commonly available and low cost sensors. The various environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, air pollution, sun light intensity and rain are continuously monitored, processed and controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller board with the help of several sensors. Captured data are broadcasted through internet with an ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. The projected system delivers sensors data to an API called ThingSpeak over an HTTP protocol and allows storing of data. The proposed system works well and it shows reliability. The prototype has been used to monitor and analyse real time data using graphical information of the environment.

This system provides low power consuming and low cost wireless sensor network. This system provides a real time temperature and humidity. It also gives proportional control action. This system consists of TI’s MSP430 microcontroller which consumes ultra low power and improves the overall system performance. The Sensorion’s SHT 11 sensor is used to measure temperature and humidity. Sensor SHT 11 consumes low power and gives the fully calibrated digital output. Zigbee technology is used for wireless communication. Zigbee is low power consuming transceiver module. It operates within the ISM 2.4 GHz frequency band. AT and API command modes configure module parameters. RF data rate is 250 kbps. To achieve the proportional control triac and MOC 3022 are used. The star network topology is implemented. The temperature of earth goes on increasing due to global warming, deforestation, pollution, etc. Due to this the temperature of atmosphere also increases which is harmful and dangerous for many systems. This system provides precise control of temperature and humidity in Green House, Art Galleries and Industries.

Abstract. Drifters that track their position are important tools in studying the hydrodynamic behaviour of rivers. Drifters that can be tracked in real time have so far been rather expensive. Recently both GPS receivers and GSM modems have become available at lower prices to tinkering scientists due to the rise of the Open Hardware revolution and the associated Arduino ecosystem. This article serves two goals. Firstly, we provide detailed instructions on how to build a Low Power GPS drifter with local storage and GSM model that we tested in a fieldwork on the confluence of the Chindwin and Ayeyarwady rivers in Myanmar. These instructions allow fellow geoscientists to recreate the device. Secondly, we set the question: "Has the Open Hardware revolution progressed to the point that a low power GPS drifter that wireless transmits its position can be made from Open Hardware component by geoscientists without extensive training or expertise in electrical and software engineering? We feel this question is relevant and timely as more low-cost Open Hardware devices are promoted but in practice applicability often is restricted to the 'tinkering engineer'. We argue that because of the plug and play nature of the components geoscientist should be able to construct these type of devices. However, to get such devices to operate at low power levels that fieldwork often requires detailed (mircro)electrical expertise.

The real-time monitoring of a data is crucial in ensuring the accuracy of the acquired data. It determines whether the device is properly working or in fault. This paper proposed the design and implementation of a ZigBee-based wireless automatic meter reading system. It focuses on the development of a device that is capable of monitoring meter reader remotely. It sends the data hourly or daily using Zigbee as the transmitting medium. The proposed device uses software; XCTU, Arduino Programming Language, Multisim and hardware; Microcontroller, Pulse generating circuit, Zigbee antenna, 16X2 LCD Display to actually demonstrate the result. This device has a good potential in wireless meter reading due to its low-cost, low power consuming, and low data rate. The input is the pulse generated by the pulsating circuit and the output will be shown onto the LCD display and in the XCTU software proving that it transmitted wirelessly. The results successfully shows the data is received as what it is transmitted.
