Abstract

Monitoring the environment conditions in a computer room or data center is critical to ensuring uptime and system reliability. Server Rooms and Data Centre are often equipped with Air Conditioning system that does allow monitoring of temperature and relative humidity from a different location over the existing network. Moreover it does not allow generating alerts using a software code using application program interface. Present work describes how the monitoring of temperature and relative humidity over the network is achieved using a single-board microcontroller Arduino Uno R3 and a DHT22 temperature and relative humidity sensor. Objective is to achieve a complete functional system in terms of software and hardware; it includes programming Arduino board and writing interfacing software for reading and uploading data to a webserver.
