Integrating IoT-Based Devices for Monitoring The Humidity and Temperature In the Boarding House Space

Abstract

Boarding houses provide the service of renting out living quarters. A good boarding house maintains a pleasant temperature and humidity level. High humidity may damage the interior and the people who live in it; therefore, it must be monitored more closely. Simpang Kost is the boarding house the author used as an object of research on monitoring temperature and humidity using an application called Smart Life. The goal of this study is to use IoT-based sensors to monitor and automatically solve temperature and humidity concerns in various rooms. Smart temperature and humidity sensors are IoT-based. This device measures the temperature and humidity in the room. According to the collected data, three categories of rooms have issues with high humidity presentation levels, so the authors offer several solutions to address these issues. The dehumidifier functions as an actuator, starting when the humidity in the room rises and stopping when the humidity in the room reaches the standards. An exhaust fan is also linked to an IoT-based smart breaker and serves as an actuator. When the room temperature rises above a certain threshold, this tool will activate and turn off automatically.
