Abstract
Detecting, monitoring, collecting, and wirelessly logging data of temperature and humidity in the hospital’s or pharmacy’s medication storage room are the four main purposes in this project aim. This project includes implementation of DHT11 sensor into the conventional temperature and humidity detection. The system will reduce the workload of the medical staff to monitor temperature and humidity condition in the medicine room. Medical staffs are no longer needed to enter the room to read and collect temperature and humidity manually, this project provided automatically detected data by a sensor call DHT11 sensor. These temperature and humidity are display digitally at the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and wirelessly display in the computer by using a pair of Xbee transmit/receive module. The Xbee wireless technology is used to send the data automatically to the Graphical User Interface (GUI) in computer for monitoring and data logger purpose. Data logger used to collect and logged data into text document (txt) and Excel file (xls) as data set for future analysis and studies.
