Indoor Air Quality System: A Design of Monitoring CO and CO2 Substances for Elderly Home Using IoT

Abstract

The use of an IoT-based monitoring system for CO and CO2 gases in elderly homes is a necessary innovation for remotely monitoring air quality. This work was successful in establishing a remote monitoring system that can measure CO and CO2 gases utilizing IoT technology combined with Blynk software. The MQ-7 sensors detect CO gas, while the MQ-135 sensors detect CO2. Data from these sensors is delivered to a central server, which then sends it to the I2C 16X2 LCD panel and Blynk software, allowing data visualization via an internet connection. The study's findings indicate that this system can detect and monitor CO and CO2 gas levels with a high degree of precision. This device can also monitor air quality in real time using the Blynk software. As a result, users may accurately monitor air quality (CO and CO2 gases) in elderly homes.
