Low-power iot-based weather monitoring system

Abstract

This paper proposes to monitor weather of specific places on Websites and Android devices using internet of things. The communication between the devices is wireless. The protocol between the units in the design is enhanced to be suitable for most of the appliances. Weather variables such as wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, solar radiation, soil moisture and rainfall may all be important factors in determining the course of a wide range of events. For example, agriculture has always been heavily dependent on the weather and weather forecasts, both for its control on the quality and quantity of a harvest and its effect on the farmer’s ability to work the land or to graze his stock. Water resources generally depend critically not just upon rainfall, but also other weather phenomena that together drive plant growth, photosynthesis, and evaporation. Weather monitoring is also important not just in defining the present climate, but also for detecting changes in climate and providing the data to input into models which enable us to predict future changes in our environment.
