IOT based Temperature Monitoring System

Abstract

Internet of Things (IOT) refers to all the devices which are present in the world and connected to the Internet. The aim of IOT is to collect and share data between two devices using the Internet. IOT is making tremendous progress in the past few years, and has proved itself very useful in many real life applications. It is very useful in applications which need both hardware and software. In this paper we will be introducing an IOT based Temperature monitoring system which is built using Raspberry pi computer, camera and sensors on the hardware side and python running in the backend. Temperature monitoring systems is a real time system which stores the data on a firebase cloud based realtime database. The paper will first start introducing the Temperature monitoring system and how it can be useful in covid-19 situation. Then it will give a brief idea of the components used along with its technical specifications. Moving forward, the paper will explain why cloud services are necessary in IOT. It will then give a brief introduction of the firebase cloud based realtime database and end that section explaining where and how we will use firebase cloud based realtime database in Temperature monitoring system. Then the paper will show a block diagram where all the input-output components are shown. It will be followed by a flowchart which will give a clear idea of how the system will work.
