Project Title:

IoT Temperature Logger to Google Sheets

Objective:

To design an IoT-based system that logs temperature data in real-time and stores it automatically in Google Sheets for easy tracking and analysis.

Project Summary:

This project involves creating a system where an IoT temperature sensor (such as a DHT11 or DHT22 sensor) continuously monitors the temperature in a given environment. The data collected by the sensor is then sent to a microcontroller (e.g., ESP32 or Arduino), which connects to the internet via Wi-Fi. The temperature readings are uploaded to Google Sheets in real-time, providing an easy and accessible way to track temperature trends. This system can be used in various applications such as home temperature monitoring, server room climate control, and agricultural environments.

Key Components:

Hardware: Temperature sensor (DHT11/DHT22), microcontroller (ESP32/Arduino), Wi-Fi module (ESP8266)

Software: Google Sheets API, Arduino IDE (for programming), Google Apps Script (for data integration)

Technologies: IoT, Cloud Computing, Google Sheets API, Real-Time Data Logging

Features:

Real-time temperature logging and storage in Google Sheets

Automatic data upload to Google Sheets without manual intervention

Simple user interface to track temperature over time

Easy data analysis and visualization directly in Google Sheets

Cloud-based storage for easy access from anywhere

Applications:

Home automation for monitoring indoor climate

Server rooms or data centers for temperature control

Agricultural environments (e.g., greenhouse temperature tracking)

Research or laboratory temperature monitoring

Outcome:

This project demonstrates how IoT can be used to automate the process of data logging and storage, making it accessible and easy to track environmental conditions. By leveraging Google Sheets as a cloud-based data store, the project showcases how simple and cost-effective solutions can be used for real-time monitoring and analysis.
