Containerised MQTT Broker and Sensor Dashboard
Build a Containerised MQTT Broker and Sensor Dashboard with Arduino
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn your bench into a professional IoT monitoring station. You’ll wire up environmental sensors to an Arduino, publish live data over MQTT, and visualise CO2, temperature, and humidity on a Grafana dashboard — all packaged inside Docker containers running on your Linux machine. This is the exact stack used to prototype real-world smart environment solutions.
What You'll Build
A self-contained environmental monitor that reads temperature, humidity, pressure, and CO2 from four sensors. The Arduino node displays readings on a 0.96 inch OLED and pushes them to a Mosquitto broker every few seconds. On the host side, Docker spins up Grafana and InfluxDB, pulling MQTT data into live time-series graphs you can access from any browser. One power supply runs everything; the entire sensor board fits inside the provided enclosure.
What You'll Learn
- Wiring I2C and UART sensors (DHT22, BMP280, MH-Z19B) to an Arduino
- Coding an Arduino sketch that formats and publishes sensor payloads over MQTT
- Deploying Mosquitto MQTT broker, Telegraf, InfluxDB, and Grafana in Docker containers
- Building a live Grafana dashboard with time-series data and configuring alerts

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE and CSE students at colleges across India — including IITs, NITs, VIT, BITS, and state universities — who want a capstone-ready IoT project. It’s also ideal for Smart India Hackathon teams building sensor-driven solutions, CBSE Class 11–12 students preparing for science exhibitions, and ATL Tinkering Lab mentors running advanced workshops. If you understand basic Arduino and want a full view of how sensor data moves to a dashboard, this kit gives you a production-style pipeline.
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?
Scan the QR code to chat with the AI companion trained on this kit. For anything it can’t handle, our WhatsApp support connects you to a project engineer within 24 hours.
Do I need a Linux machine to run Docker?
Yes. The dashboard stack runs inside Docker on Linux. We provide step-by-step guides for setting up Docker on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Windows via WSL2.
Can I use this kit without a soldering iron?
The sensor board requires soldering; the included soldering iron and solder wire make it easy. First-time solderers learn the skill in under an hour with our guide.
How do I access the Grafana dashboard after setup?
Grafana runs locally on your machine. You’ll open localhost:3000 in a browser and log in with the credentials you set during container configuration.
Docker on Linux runs Mosquitto MQTT + Grafana. STM32 sketch publishes sensor data. Full stack on one board.
