Automatic Private Weather Station (APWS) Prototype Using Node MCU with Telegram Monitoring

Abstract

Automatic Private Weather Station (APWS) is a tool used for weather monitoring in our surroundings. This tool can give us details about the location where this appliance is located, ambient temperature, air humidity, light intensity, rain value, wind speed, and the height position of the tool. The brain of the prototype is the ESP8266 Node-MCU-based Wi-fi module. In this tool, there are five sensors used, namely GPS Neo U-blox, temperature and humidity sensor (DHT11), raindrop module, Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), and Buzzer. In this study, a prototype of a private weather station was developed that can be monitored with commands on a telegram. Thus, access to weather information is more accessible and well-coordinated.
