Penerapan IoT dalam Sistem Monitoring Suhu dan Kelembapan pada Lahan Bawah Tanah (Basement) Masjid Al-Barkah

Underground areas, commonly referred to as basements, are often used for essential functions such as parking and electrical distribution spaces. However, unstable temperature and humidity levels due to poor air circulation can affect comfort and safety. Therefore, a system capable of automatically monitoring and controlling temperature and humidity is needed to optimize comfort and energy efficiency. This research employs an Internet of Things (IoT) approach using a DHT11 sensor to detect temperature and humidity in the basement. The data collected by the sensor is processed using a NodeMCU ESP32 microcontroller and then displayed in real-time on a web-based application via the cloud. The system also automatically controls the fan/blower to maintain ideal conditions in the basement. The results of this research show that the implemented IoT system demonstrates high effectiveness in monitoring temperature and humidity in real-time, providing accurate data, enabling energy savings by automatically regulating the fan/blower, and improving air quality and user comfort in the basement.
