Abstract
Humans were often unaware of the risk of contaminated indoor air quality. Based on this, the researcher designs an Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System based on Arduino which could help to raise the human awareness of air quality. This research is based on the Prototyping method. The system hardware built with Arduino Uno which connected to MQ135 sensor to monitor the air quality and Sound Buzzer to sound an alarm whenever the sensor sensed the air quality in a risky value. The Ethernet Shield is used to connect the Arduino Uno to the internet, which enables the process to upload the data which has been read by the sensor to an IoT platform called ThingSpeak. The air quality data which uploaded to ThingSpeak, then retrieved by AirQmon, a customized Android application developed by the researcher to monitor the air quality which is installed on the smartphone. The data is presented graphically to the user through AirQmon apps. This system results in a form of a device and application which could potentially be used as a monitoring system and raise human awareness of indoor air quality.
Highlights
The indoor air quality monitoring system is built by using Arduino and MQ135 sensors
Besides the list of research related to air quality shown in Table 2, there are some previous works develop by the researcher related to detection and monitoring system using microcontroller and sensors [28,29]
The user can view the data by using the AirQmon application (Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System based on Android)
Summary
Clean air is important to support the human body to stay healthy, while a polluted air can affect humans’ body negatively. The effects of polluted air need to be avoided and one of the alternatives is by using a system to monitor the air quality indoor. Based on the importance of indoor air quality, the researcher built a system which can monitor indoor air quality using microcontroller Arduino board and MQ135 sensors to detect the air quality with an interface of an Android application to get data and display the air quality, by means to raise the awareness to the user regarding any polluted air indoor. The indoor air quality monitoring system is built by using Arduino and MQ135 sensors.
