Environment monitoring has been linked to the use of the IoT. To raise awareness for the environment, the IoT system is built as an instrument tool based on a Prototyping model with an experimental approach. The hardware consists of sensors, microcontrollers, a Wi-Fi modem, powered with solar cells, and electricity integrated with IoT platforms Blynk and ThingSpeak. The prototype detectors were installed in two different locations at the Universitas Klabat. The IoT systems can store data, display information, and send push notifications as alerts to the user’s smartphone when critical conditions emerge. In the two locations for a specified time of May 2023, the data analysis shows average temperatures are 28,39˚C and 28,44˚C, where 28˚C is the optimal value. The average humidity shows 90,18%RH and 85,28%RH. These humidity values are critical because the humidity outside 40-60%RH can significantly impact health. The average air quality shows 59,62 AQI as “moderate” and 3.7 AQI as “good”. While “good” air quality is the best, “moderate” is safe because only when a value higher than 100 is unhealthy. The IoT system can help to monitor and provide real-time information about the environmental parameters.References
