Always know the current room conditions with the Oplá IoT Kit and Arduino Cloud
Always know the current room conditions with the Oplá IoT Kit and Arduino Cloud
Arduino Team — November 24, 2022
Robert John likes to keep a constant eye on his room's current temperature and humidity, as even small fluctuations can lead to uncomfortable conditions. And while he could turn the air conditioning on or off remotely, he still needed a way to track those values throughout the day and save them for future reference.
To create this smart device, Robert used an Arduino Oplà IoT Kit, as it contains an MKR WiFi 1010, an MKR IoT Carrier with an integrated display and capacitive buttons, and a PIR sensor to detect motion. Once logged in, he then set up a new dashboard in the Arduino IoT cloud with two variables for temperature and humidity, which are updated once a minute by the MKR WiFi 1010.
In addition to these values displayed in virtual gauges, the dashboard tracks them in a set of two graphs for up to 15 days. The motherboard also displays the current time, temperature, and humidity on its screen for convenient viewing that automatically shuts off to save power when no one is nearby.
