Diseño y desarrollo de una estación meteorológica mediante el uso del IoT para la medición de factores climáticos en la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil.

Abstract

At present, the facilities of the faculty of engineering, as well as those of the computer science engineering career work in a traditional way, so that devices such as lighting, air conditioning or security are controlled manually by switches or remote controls, thus giving an uncomfortable experience for the institutional member, as well as a wrong and informal management for energy saving and staff access, which can be improved today with the existing technological advances. Due to this, it has been proposed to automate a specific feature, so that the aim of this project is to obtain climatological variables of greater relevance through the development of an automated weather station with the help of the IoT that allows visualizing the variables and climatic factors of the locality. This work has a qualitative method with a comparative causal approach, whose collection tools are surveys and interviews, this because in this way it was possible to obtain a more accurate analysis of the opinions of the administrative staff of the faculty of engineering in this case study for a subsequent and correct implementation. Once the information has been collected, it was concluded that a visualization dashboard would be necessary, whose information will be presented by user-friendly statistical tools. Additionally, the traditional rapid prototyping method was used for the development of the code used in the station, which allowed a progressive and efficient development in the device. Finally, the implemented systems will oversee showing the information in real time.
