Build a 5-Node Air Quality Monitoring Mesh with ESP32 & Pi 5 Aggregator — Complete Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Deploy a scalable environmental monitoring system across a classroom, lab, or school building. This kit lets you capture real-time temperature, humidity, air quality, and motion data from multiple points, then fuse and visualize everything on a Raspberry Pi 5 dashboard. It’s a hands-on way to prototype campus-wide air monitoring without sourcing a single component yourself.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble five ESP32 sensor nodes, each packed with an MPU6050 IMU, DHT22 temperature/humidity probe, and an MQ135 gas sensor. These nodes form a self-healing ESP-MESH, streaming telemetry via MQTT to a central Pi 5 aggregator. The Pi 5 logs all data to its NVMe SSD, runs a Node-RED dashboard, and can trigger alerts if CO₂ or motion patterns cross thresholds — a real-world stack used in campus environmental research.

What You'll Learn

• Design a multi-node ESP-MESH network for resilient sensor data transmission across a room
• Set up and secure an MQTT broker on Raspberry Pi 5 to aggregate real-time IoT streams
• Fuse readings from IMU (MPU6050), DHT22, and MQ135 sensors into meaningful environmental metrics
• Build a live monitoring dashboard with Node-RED, time-series charts, and alerting logic

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE students working on IoT capstone projects, Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping real-time air quality monitoring solutions, and researchers at IIT, NIT, VIT or BITS campuses. It’s also ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab mentors looking to demonstrate enterprise-scale IoT without cloud dependencies.

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.
