Abstract

In this paper, an overview of an IoT system prototype to monitor the ambient conditions of the Vietnamese—German University’s server room is discussed. The system makes use of a Raspberry Pi as the central processor, with on-site touch screen input and its own back-up power and Internet connection. The server room’s power status is to be recorded by the Raspberry Pi and reports back to the user. Ambient data is gathered by many ESP8266 microcontroller boards to make an ambient model of the isolated server room. A smartphone application is used to push the notification and ambient data, along with simple remote control commands to the user. Air conditioning is controlled automatically by these microcontroller boards by simulating the isolated AC’s remote control. This project concentrates on using off-the-shelf hardware components, well-known and well-maintained software libraries. Our monitoring results are satisfactory, with less than 2 °C in temperature error.
