Abstract

This research paper represents economic and portable Mini-Weather Station, which can be marketable as a local device and also ensures scalability, combo features and convenient for Bangladeshi Farmers and as well as for developing counties. In this project, we use the Arduino Uno R3 microcontroller to control the system and connect with various sensors to read analog data from various weather variables like air temperature and air humidity using sensor DHT11 sensor, UV Index and UV-A Lamp Monitoring using UV-B sensor, Barometric Pressure BMP085, MQ2 Gas Sensor, and measuring soil moisture using moisture sensor, DS1820 sensor and using HC-05 Bluetooth device to connect with android application. The weather station device does not need any Internet access except self-generated Bluetooth network. Considering various seasonal weather in Bangladesh, we design mini-weather station that accurately measures all parameters from local weather status and also gives agricultural prospects and efficient food productivity in Bangladesh.
