I. ABSTRACT: II. INTRODUCTION:

The main objective of this Micro project is There are so many embedded devices to
to design an IOT based temperature and interact with environment by connecting
humidity real-time monitoring and internet. The increment of these types of
reporting system that is equipped with objects is achieving the development of
temperature sensor and relative humidity micro-controller-based systems which are
sensors for taking measurement. The replacing old complicated electronic
proposed system is an advanced solution circuits. By using IOT, we can control any

temperature and humidity at different industries. Moreover, we can read a data

VI. RESOURCES REQUIREMENT:
Technology that was used in past scenario
was Evaluation Kit for digital Humidity
Sensor EEH110 and EEH210 and the
problems related to it were as follows :
• It took comparatively more time to
process.
• It required additional devices for
operation.
• It required external clock. This module sends data in form of pulse
• Programming for micro controller train of specific time period. Before
8051 was difficult. ϖ For sending data to Arduino, it needs some
initialize command with a time delay. And
the whole process time is about 4ms. First
of all Arduino sends a high to low start
signal to DHT11 with 18µs delay to ensure
DHT’s detection.
And then Arduino pull-up the data line and
wait for 20-40µs for DHT’s response.
Once DHT detects starts signal, it will
send a low voltage level response signal to
Arduino of time delay about 80µs. And
then DHT controller pull up the data line
and keeps it for 80µs for DHT’s arranging
of sending data. When data bus is at low
voltage level it means that DHT11 is
sending response signal. Once it is done,
DHT again makes data line pull-up for
80µs for preparing data transmission. Data
VIII. CONCLUSION :
format that is sending by DHT to Arduino
for every bit begins with 50µs low voltage This proposed system can provide a
level and length of high voltage level convenient method for effective

wired systems can be replaced by the
wireless sensor networks to get an accurate
data as well as to avoid many hazardous
issues.
