ABSTRACT:
This project presents a smart,low cost
environmental monitoring system using
raspberry pi.
It collects data from sensors (Temperature,
Humidity ,Air quality,Soil moisture),logs it
locally,visualizes it in real time and can
trigger devices via relays.
Designed for agriculture,urban or
industrial use.It offers automation ,remote
access and energy efficiency.
INTRODUCTION:
Growing need for Environmental
monitoring.
Real-Time data helps in smart
homes,agriculture,and urban planning.
RASPBERRY PI:
The Raspberry Pi is a low cost,credit card
sized computer that plays a central role in
building environmental monitoring system.
It acts as the core processing unit,collecting
and analysing data from various sensors.
RASPBERRY PI PINS:
RASPBERRY PI MODEL:
SYSTEM OBJECTIVE:
Build a cost-effective,real-time system
using raspberry pi and sensors.
Monitor multiple environmental parameters.
Temperature
Humidity
Air
quality(eg.CO2,VOCs)
Atmospheric pressure
Report data to cloud in
real-time.
View data through
dashboards.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
Existing an environmental monitoring
systems are designed to only observe and
analyze some of parameters such as
temperature,humidity and air quality.
DIY systems using microcontrollers like
Arduino and Raspberry Pi present low cost
alternatives but typically lack advanced
features like automation and cloud
integration.
PROPOSED SYSTEM:
It is an intelligent environmental monitoring and
control solution built using a Raspberry Pi and
sensor modules.
A relay module is used to automatically control
external devices.
This Automation enhances environmental
regulation in real time,making the system
efficient,responsive and ideal for applications such
as smart homes,greenhouses and industrial settings.
HARDWARE COMPONENTS:
Raspberry Pi
Sensors:
DHT22(Temp+Humidity)
MQ135/CCS811(Air quality)
BMP280(Pressure)
PMS5003(Dust)
Breadboard,Jumper wires
Power supply
SENSORS:
DHT22:
To measure temperature, humidity and output
of the data as a digital signal.
More accurate and wider range than DHT11.
MQ135:
It has high sensitivity to Ammonia gas,
Sulfide,Benzene series steam also can monitor
smoke and other toxic gases well.
PMS5003:
It is a kind of digital and universal particle
concentration sensor,which can be used to obtain
the number of suspended particles in the air.
BMP280:
It is a compact,high-precision digital
sensor used to measure atmospheric pressure
and temperature.
WHY USE RELAYS?
A relay is an electronic switch that allows the
Raspberry pi to control high-voltage devices
(fan,pumps,heaters) with low voltage GPIO
signals.
Cases:
High temperature-Turn on cooling fan.
Low soil moisture-Activate water pump.
Poor air quality-Start air purifier or ventilation
system.
SOFTWARE COMPONENTS:
Programming : Python
Libraries :Adafruit_DHT,smbus2,requests
Cloud platforms:Thingspeak/Adafruit IO
SAMPLE OUTPUT:
BENEFITS:
Cost-effective
Scalable
APPLICATIONS:
Smart homes
Green houses
Urban environment monitoring
Educational projects
CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS:
Sensor accuracy : Calibration
Internet issues : Local fallback
Power : Use of power banks or solar
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS
Add more sensors(CO2,Sound,light).
Use machine learning to predict trends.
Mobile app integration.
Battery or solar-powered setup.
CONCLUSION
By integrating various sensors, the system is
capable of accurately tracking key environmental
parameters .
Furthermore, through the use of relay modules
and automated control logic, it can respond to
changing environmental conditions by activating
devices.
With the addition of cloud connectivity and
dashboards, users can monitor and control the
environment remotely, making this an efficient step
towards smarter, greener living spaces.
