ABSTRACT
An atmosphere station can be depicted as an instrument or device, which outfits us with the
information of the atmosphere in our neighbouring condition. Hereafter, this contraption on
a very basic level resources the temperature, pressure, dampness. There are various types of
sensors present in the model, using which all the recently referenced limits can be assessed.
It will in general be used to screen the temperature or mugginess of a particular room/place.
With the help of temperature and mugginess we can find out other data limits, for instance,
the dew point. We have furthermore enabled to screen the climatic load of the room. We can
in like manner screen the storm regard. The cerebrum of the model is the ESP8266 based Wi-
Fi module NodeMCU (12E). Four sensors are related with the NodeMCU explicitly
temperature and tenacity sensor (DHT11), pressure sensor (BMP180), raindrop module, and
light ward resistor (LDR).

Keywords: IoT, NodeMCU, ESP8266, ThingSpeak
