Introduction
The number of embedded devices that can interact with
environment are already con-
nected to internet, and it is estimated that the number
reaches 50 billion by 2020 (Kouhia,
2016). The growth of such interacting objects achieved
this staggering pace with the
development of microcontroller based easy-to-use
designed system which are replacing
old systems designed with complicated electronic
circuits.

System Implementation
2.1 Schematic Diagram

Description of hardware components:
Arduino, the open source hardware has shown ability to meet the need of
accurate and
real-time monitoring and controlling of environmental variables. The Arduino user
com-
munity is a forum where many people can share their ideas, use each other’s
work and
modify them to innovate and advance many different interacting objects. Arduino
is use
in a wide range of projects to develop objects that can interact with people or
environ-
ment and internet.
ARDUINO UNO:
Arduino i s an open-source electronics platform bas ed on easy-to-use
hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on
a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter m e s s a g e - and turn it into an
output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing s omething
online. You can tell your board what to d o by sending a set of
instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do s o you u s e the
Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino
Software (IDE), bas ed on P ro c e s s i n g .
Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects,
from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide
community of makers - students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and
professionals - has gathered around this open-source platform, their
contributions have added up to an incredible amount of access i ble
knowledge that can be of great help to novi ces and experts alike.

Results
After wiring and writing the code, the program was run and the built
device was success-
To study the performance characteristics of the used Arduino-based
humidity and tem-
perature sensor, the test was done in three different conditions. The
first test was done
inside an environmental laboratory room and the other two tests were
done inside a box
and outside laboratory, respectively. To create a different temperature
and humidity, the
sensor was kept inside an insulated wooden box and for the 3rd test the
measurement
was taken outside of the building.

Conclusion
22
The work was successful in building a monitoring device which works as a
thermometer
for measuring temperature and humidity inside a building; it is capable of
measuring
humidity and temperature outdoors. Compared to expensive sensor, the
Arduino-based
monitoring system successfully reduces the power consumption, cost and
complexity of
the process. The performance of the system was accurate and reliable
with some error
in measurement and limitations of the used sensor.
Arduin- based monitoring devices are the new possibilities for developing
smart devices
freely with small budget and simple work. The accelerating race of
advanced technology
outdates the technology used in Arduino Uno in no time; advanced
software working
similarly are available. The Arduino is programmed to use a USB cable to
connect to
computer while there are many other boards available with different
features.
