Temperature and Humidity Monitoring System using Arduino and dht11

The Arduino Uno is one of the most common Arduino boards available for beginners because of its user-friendly nature in both Hardware and programming areas.

The Arduino GROOVE beginner kit makes Arduino more user-friendly by providing 10 essential sensors all-in-one kit, no breadboard, no soldering and even no wiring is needed.

Their website has a great tutorial about the usage of this kit with 10 different programs about each sensor. So even a person has zero knowledge about Arduino can learn this independently.

We strongly recommend this product for beginners who wants to get familiar with Arduino.

Let’s understand the working principle of this project.

The temperature sensor will send Temperature and humidly values to the Arduino and the values will be displayed on the OLED display. When the temperature reaches beyond the threshold, Arduino will trigger both LED and Buzzer which will be used to notify the user. OLED display will warn the user about the raise in temperature by displaying a warning icon.

Require Components

Now let’s understand little bit about the sensors used for this project.

The first module is the Grove – Temperature and Humidity sensor

DHT11 Temperature & Humidity sensor provides a pre-calibrated digital output. A unique capacitive sensor element measures relative humidity, and the temperature is measured by a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor.

The second one is the Grove - OLED Display.

The Grove - OLED Display is a 0.96" 128×64 pixels passive display matrix module with Grove I2C Interface.

The third one is the Groove LED.

.

This sensor has a got a red LED and a potentiometer on-board to manage the power requirements of the LED. The PCB of this module has mounting holes which can be mounted on the required surface of your prototype.

The fourth and last one is the Grove - Buzzer module

The Grove - Buzzer module has a piezo buzzer as the main component. The piezo can be connected to digital outputs and will emit a tone when the output is HIGH. Alternatively, it can be connected to an analog pulse-width modulation output to generate various tones and effects

If you prefer to use these modules elsewhere then you can simply break the modules out from the Kit! All these sensors are compatible with both Arduino and raspberry pi.

You can find the corresponding Arduino pin details of each component on the board itself.

Please refer this circuit diagram if anyone wants to implement this project without using the kit.

We have added comments in the program for better understanding of each codes. We have also added links to watch Arduino IDE installation for Windows and Ubuntu in the description. This will help you to understand more about Arduino if you are using it for the First time.

Project Testing

Now let’s test the project.

We have added our TexoBot Logo to look the project more professional.

Now on the OLED screen you could see the Temperature and Humidity. Let’s increase the temperature by keeping the Lighter close to the DHT 11 temperature sensor. You could see that the temperature and humidity is increasing slowly.

So, after the temperature reaches beyond 35 degree Celsius you could see that Arduino has triggered Both LED and Buzzer. Also a critical temperature warning symbol has appeared on the screen.

Now let’s wait for some time to get the temperature back to normal. Now you could see that the Alarm has stopped and the warning symbol is no more displayed on the OLED Screen.
