Arduino HVAC Monitor Kit - Log Temp/Humidity to SD & Plot in Excel
Arduino HVAC Performance Monitor Kit - Log Temperature & Humidity to SD Card, Plot Charts in Excel
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Ever wondered how well your air conditioner or room heater holds a set temperature over time? With this kit, you'll build a self-contained monitor that records temperature, humidity, and light levels every 60 seconds to an SD card. The resulting CSV file opens directly in Excel, letting you plot professional charts to analyze HVAC performance, detect drafts, or study environmental patterns - all without writing a single line of code for the analysis.
What You'll Build
You'll assemble a sensor station that reads the DHT22 (temperature & humidity) and two LDRs (light-dependent resistors) to log environmental data onto a microSD card. Every entry carries an accurate timestamp from the DS3231 real-time clock. Run it on a 9V battery for hours, then pop the SD card into a computer, open the CSV in Excel, and instantly create line graphs that reveal minute-by-minute changes - a clean, practical project for science fairs or your own curiosity.
What You'll Learn
- Wiring a DHT22 sensor and reading temperature/humidity with Arduino
- Using LDRs to measure ambient light levels
- Logging time-stamped data to a microSD card via a DS3231 RTC
- Exporting CSV files and building visual plots in Microsoft Excel

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is built for school students (CBSE Class 11-12, ATL tinkering labs), early B.Tech ECE/EEE learners, and curious hobbyists who want hands-on data logging. If you're preparing a science exhibition, a Smart India Hackathon project, or simply want to understand how environmental sensors capture real-world trends, this single box delivers everything you need to start logging in a single afternoon.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion (accessed via the QR code) gives step-by-step instructions specific to this kit. For extra help, send us a photo on WhatsApp and our team in Bengaluru will guide you.
Can I log data for more than a day?
Yes. The microSD card holds millions of entries. Swap the 9V battery or connect a USB power bank for multi-day logging sessions.
Do I need to solder anything?
No. Every connection is made on the solderless breadboard using the included male-to-male jumper wires. It's completely safe and reusable.
Is this kit suitable for a school science fair project?
Absolutely. Many school students in India have used this exact setup to document temperature and humidity trends, with Excel charts that impress judges and explain the science clearly.
HVAC - DHT22 and LDR values logged every minute to SD card as CSV. Open in Excel to plot charts.
