Design of a Web-Integrated IoT System for Environmental Monitoring Using ESP32
Keywords:
Environmental Monitoring, IoT, ESP32, MySQL, TomcatAbstract
This project presents the design and implementation of a web-integrated IoT environmental monitoring system using the ESP32 microcontroller. The system measures temperature, humidity, air quality, atmospheric pressure, altitude, and light intensity using the BME680 and LDR sensors. Sensor data are transmitted via Wi-Fi to an Apache Tomcat server and stored in a MySQL database. Data were visualized through a real-time JSP-based web dashboard. Testing showed stable communication, accurate sensor readings, and reliable data retrieval with no packet loss. Real-time and 10-minute interval displays demonstrated consistent environmental trends, confirming the system’s capability for continuous indoor monitoring. The results indicate that the proposed architecture is effective, low-cost, and suitable for future extension into multi-node or cloud-based applications.
