DHT11 Sensor Logger

Internship · Enerzi Microwave Systems, Belagavi · Apr to May 2022

IoT temperature and humidity logger

A NodeMCU ESP8266 reads a DHT11 sensor and pushes each reading over Wi-Fi to a Google Sheet. Below: the rows her prototype actually logged, and a browser simulator of the same pipeline.

Live demo

A simulator of the device-to-sheet pipeline. Readings are generated in your browser with DHT11-style noise; no sensor or Google account is involved.

Data flow and wiring

Reference wiring for a DHT11 module on a NodeMCU. Pin choice in her build is not recorded in the files.

Reference sketch

A minimal Arduino C++ sketch and Apps Script receiver written for this page to show how the pipeline works. It is not her original project file.


    

  






  
Results
The nine rows her prototype wrote to the sheet. They repeat three value pairs and fall outside the DHT11's measuring range, so they are test values from the prototype rather than room measurements.

How it works
Built during her internship at Enerzi Microwave Systems Pvt. Ltd., Belagavi, 1 April to 31 May 2022.

  
    
    
  1. Wire the sensor. Connected a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor to a NodeMCU ESP8266 board (power, ground and one data pin).
    2. 
    
  2. Program the board. Wrote an Arduino C++ sketch that reads temperature (°C) and humidity (% RH) on a fixed interval.
    3. 
    
  3. Connect to Wi-Fi. The ESP8266 joins the local network and sends each reading as an HTTPS request.
    4. 
    
  4. Receive in Apps Script. A Google Apps Script web app takes the request and appends a row with date, time, temperature and humidity.
    5. 
    
  5. Monitor in Sheets. The Google Sheet becomes a live log that can be charted and checked against alert limits.
    6.
