The SMS-Based Environment Monitoring System (SEMS) is a step up from the previous systems for environmental monitoring as it come with modern sensors and wireless connectivity. In contrast to the traditional systems, the SEMS provides a complex and at the same time easy-to-implement solution for the effective control of the critical environmental conditions in different facilities, such as airports and data centers.
The SEMS uses Arduino controller and specific sensor nodes to measure temperature, humidity, air quality, and power consumption effectively and accurately. Each sensor node is equipped with specific sensors: the DHT11 for temperature and humidity, the MQ135 for air quality and sensors for current and voltage. These nodes connect wirelessly via ESP32 modules to a master node hence facilitating data transfer and acquisition.
The master node has a GSM module to send SMS alerts in real-time depending on the data collected to facilitate the response to environmental changes. Moreover, the system has a straightforward graphical user interface that further improves the system’s availability and usage by operators. In this regard, this project seeks to enhance environmental monitoring in the CI environments through the development and implementation of this unique monitoring system.
