 ABSTRACT

Internet of Things (IOT) conceptualizes the idea of remotely connecting and monitoring
real word objects (things) through the Internet. The IOT based Interactive and
Controlling and Monitoring System for industrial and home automation is a new
Technological advancement which can control and monitor devices not only for
Industrial and home automation but any real time life appliances remotely. We can read
a data from any sensor and analyse it graphically from anywhere in the world. Here,
we can read temperature and humidity data from DHT11 sensor and upload it to a
ThingSpeak cloud which is an open IOT platform using Arduino Uno and ESP8266- 01
module. Arduino Uno is a Microcontroller which would fetch a data of humidity and
temperature from DHT11 sensor and process it and give it to an ESP8266 Module.
ESP8266 is a WIFI module. It can transfer a data to IOT cloud. So here we are adding
a feasibility of an Sound Decibel Meter. It can sense a sound level using mic, convert
that sound into its corresponding dB, and then upload it to the cloud. People celebrate
various joyous events of life which call for bursting crackers but some welfare
associations of many societies put up a no cracker. The government often explains to
the common man the danger of bursting crackers both health wise in terms of the noise
and air pollution it causes. Firecrackers are extremely harmful for senior citizen and
small children. Firecracker can cause hearing loss, high blood pressure, sleeping
disturbances and sudden exposure to loud noise can cause temporary or permanent
deafness or even result in heart attack. Environment Protection act states that the noise
produced are exceeding 145db. We are desigining a device which can reduce the noise
pollution caused by crackers and which will help people to live in an safer environment
without any kind of health disorders. So, the sound from the environment is sensed
using high sensitivity microphone. The measured value is in the form of voltage. The
voltage is given to the controller which will convert the voltage into its corresponding
dB value. Once the conversion process is done then that value is sent to nearby mobile
by bluetooth module. The Bluetooth used here is HC-05 series which will give way for
two-way communication. From the mobile, the data is uploaded in the cloud
using IOT
technology.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 GENERAL
Internet of Things (IOT) is influencing our lifestyle from the way we react to the way we
behave. IOT can bring big benefits which can help us to optimise time and boost
productivity. The IOT is a system of interrelated computing devices , mechanical and
digital machines, objects or people that are provided with unique identifiers(UIDs) and
the ability to transfer data over human or human-to-computer interaction. The definition
of Internet of Things has evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies and
embedded systems. Embedded Systems, wireless sensor network, control system,
automation and others all contribute to enable Internet of Things.

My project, IOT Based Humidity and Temperature Monitoring using an Arduino Uno
with an Feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter depends upon how Temperature and
Humidity can be read using an DHT 11 sensor and uploading the data to an cloud
where we can store multiple data and we can have an account of how many entries
have been made in a certain amount of time interval. Genearally, uploading of the data
is done by an WiFi module. There are two types of WiFi module. They are ESP8266
and Node MCU. I am here using the Wifi module named ESP8266. It is an build in
microcontroller chip which is embedded with all kind of facilities. ESP8266 is the device
which transfers and uploads the data in the cloud. Thingspeak is the platform where
the cloud is storing its data. It is an open IOT platform.

I am adding an feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter. It can sense the sound and indicate
when the sound crosses more than the threshold value.

10
1.2 OUTLINE OF THE PROJECT

The project is about Monitoring Temperature and Humidity and also the sound
using two different types of sensors. For Temperature and Humidity monitoring
system we have the DHT11 sensor which is specially designed for monitoring the
temperature and humidity in an specific area. For measuring the sound we have
the Sound sensor which consist of an in build MIC system which can record the
noise or the sound. Once, the mic records the signals it shows whether the
sound is less or more than the threshold frequency value. If the frequency is
more than the threshold frequency then the bulb would glow and if the frequency
is less than the threshold frequency then the bulb would not glow.

AIM AND SCOPE

2.1 AIM
The main objective of the project is monitoring Humidity and Temperature
monitoring using an Arduino Uno with an Feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter.

2.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT

My project is about monitoring the Humidity and Temperature using an Arduino
Uno with an Feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter.

2.3 LITERATURE REVIEW

In this project, we are monitoring the Humidity and Temperature using an Arduino
Uno Board with an Feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter. This is all about using an DHT11
sensor for monitoring an Humidity and Temperature and an Sound sensor for
measuring the Sound Decibel Meter. It includes the code map of C. We need to have
an Arduino software installed in our computer with the version 1.8.7. We need to
download certain library functions such as Thingspeak, DHT sensor, sound sensor,
ESP8266. For the temperature and humidity the output would be shown in the serial
monitor as well as in the cloud. For uploading the data in the cloud we need to have
an Thingspeak account so that we can upload our data in our account and we can
make it public so that everyone can utilize it. As, far as Sound Decibel Meter is
concerned we would get out desired output when the bulb glows on/off.

C is the language used in the monitoring and displaying of the Humidity and
Temperature Sensor using an Arduino Uno Board with the feasibility of Sound Decibel
Meter. C is an computer programming language. A scope in any programming is a
region of the programming where a defined variable can have its existence and beyond
that the variable it cannot be accesed. There are two places where the variables can
be declared. They are LOCAL VARIABLES and GLOBAL VARIABLES.

 IN of WiFi module to 3.3V of Arduino Board.
 GND of Wifi module to GND of Arduino.
 RX of Wifi module to TX of Arduino
 TX of Wifi module to RX of Arduino.

3.4 SUMMARY
By using an C program we are able to display an IOT based Humidity and Temperature
Sensor using an feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter. This devicde is used for monitoring
the amount of Humidity and Temperature in the city and in parallel the amount of sound
pollution caused in the society. This project can be used in many ways as an alarm
systems in traffic signals and during certain occasions such as Diwali. It shows how
much amount of Sound is being getting produced. Hence, we can use it as an barrier
as not to produce sound pollution more than certain decibel limit.

4.2 ROLE OF C
C is the language used in the displaying of the IOT based Humidity and Temperature
Sensor using a Feasibility of Sound Decibel Meter. C is an computer programming
language. C is a program in which it consist of both user defined standard library
functions and pre defined standard library functions. An scope in any programming is
a region of the programming where a defined variable can have its existence and
beyond that the variable it cannot be accesed. There are two places where the
variables can be declared. They are LOCAL VARIABLES and GLOBAL VARIABLES.
There are many advantages in an C programming like,
 It improves the reusability of the code.
 Same function can be used in any program rather than writing the same code

20
  Debugging of the code would be easier.
 Errors are easily been traced.
 It reduces the size of the statements and are replaced by function calls in C.

CONCLUSION AND FUTURE WORK

5.1 CONCLUSION
Displaying of an IOT based Humidity and Temperature monitoring system with the
feasibility of Sound Decibel meter is an easy short project which can be done by
anyone who has an good knowledge about the embedded technologies and how an
wifi system is getting connected to cloud and its system settings. If a person knows
about the connection then it is a very easy project to be executed.

5.2 FUTURE WORK

In this project, we can try to make a device consiting of DHT11 sensor, sound sensor
and the wifi module (ESP8266). We, can try making so that we do not need two
different devices for monitoring IOT based Humidity and Temperature and Sound
sensor.
