Real-Time Server Room Monitoring System Using Internet of Things (IoT) Technology

Abstract

With the exponential growth of server rooms and data centres, ensuring their optimal functioning and protection has become a critical concern. This research presents an IoT-based server room monitoring system that utilizes microcontrollers and sensors to continuously monitor key environmental metrics, such as temperature, humidity, and power, while also detecting potential hazards including vibration, fire, and smoke. The system employs the NodeMCU microcontroller, which seamlessly integrates various sensors including Smoke, Flame, AC Voltage, Temperature and humidity, and Vibration sensors. A combination of LED lights and a buzzer is employed to promptly alert users when any monitored factor exceeds its predefined threshold. The system offers user access through both a mobile and web application, allowing for registration and convenient retrieval of pertinent information. By providing real-time monitoring and rapid notifications, this system enhances the reliability and security of server rooms, enabling proactive maintenance and timely resolution of potential issues. This research contributes to the field of IoT-based server room monitoring, addressing the growing need for efficient and robust monitoring solutions in the face of increasing data demands.
