Server Room Temperature Monitor Kit v16
Server Room Temperature Monitor Kit v16 — ESP8266 Sensor Node with InfluxDB & Grafana Dashboards
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Keep your server room or data centre conditions under constant watch with this practical IoT kit. You’ll build a wireless environmental sensor node using an ESP8266 and two precision sensors, then stream temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure readings directly to an InfluxDB database on a Raspberry Pi. Grafana turns that data into beautiful, real‑time time‑series charts you can access from any computer on your network.
What You'll Build
A compact, battery‑friendly monitoring unit that captures ambient conditions every few seconds. The ESP8266 connects to your local WiFi and pushes data to InfluxDB. Once the Raspberry Pi is set up with InfluxDB and Grafana (we provide the setup script), you’ll see live graphs that show exactly what’s happening in your server room — temperature spikes, humidity trends, and pressure changes — all updated automatically.
What You'll Learn
- Wiring the DHT22 and BMP280 sensors to an ESP8266 on a breadboard
- Writing Arduino code to read temperature, humidity, and pressure and format them for HTTP posting
- Configuring InfluxDB to accept time‑series data from an IoT device
- Creating a Grafana dashboard with dynamic time‑series graphs and gauges

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately
| Factor | Sourcing Separately | Compoden Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility checks | You verify every part | Pre-tested as a system |
| Build support | Forums and scattered tutorials | AI companion trained on this exact project |
| Time to first working build | Days of debugging | Hours, with step-by-step guidance |
| Shipping coordination | Multiple sellers, multiple delays | One shipment from Bengaluru in 3-5 days |
Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11–12 students diving into IoT and data science, B.Tech ECE/EEE learners tackling mini‑projects, and ATL Tinkering Lab members who want a hands‑on data logging experience. It’s equally suitable for hobbyists managing a home server room or anyone curious about connecting sensors to cloud‑ready dashboards.
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 on the box to launch the AI companion, which walks you through each wiring step and code upload. WhatsApp and email support are also available.
Do I need a Raspberry Pi to use this kit?
The sensor node runs independently, but to receive data and run InfluxDB and Grafana you’ll need a Raspberry Pi (or any Linux computer). We provide a setup script that installs everything on a Pi in minutes.
Can I view the graphs on my phone?
Yes. Once Grafana is running, open its web dashboard from your phone’s browser. The interface is responsive and works well on mobile screens.
Is any coding experience required?
No prior experience necessary. The kit includes commented Arduino code and a complete InfluxDB config. Basic familiarity with the Arduino IDE is helpful but not essential.
Data Centre — ESP8266 posts data to InfluxDB on Raspberry Pi. Grafana renders beautiful time-series charts on PC.
