Remote control data in greenbuilding by using raspberry PI as a client

Abstract

Monitoring of the relative humidity and temperature play an important role recording the variation of ambient as a function of time using Raspberry PI in green buildings when we were not around. The purpose of this project is to monitor and develop the data acquisition system for humidity and temperature measurement. This project presents the digital sensors inter IC (I2C) circuits with programming technique for remote sensing of relative humidity and temperature. The control unit converts the relative humidity and temperature which sense by the sensors. Then, the client sends the digital data to the server and finally the data will be processed by the PC. After that, the interface programmed is developed using Raspberry PI instead of PC which allow the user to set up important parameters and time for the operation. The data acquisition system has been designed that can perform standalone or PC based via digital sensors socket programming communication. This system also is equipped with software calibration Linux in order to obtain more accurate measurement.
