Server Room Temperature Monitor Kit v25
Server Room Temperature Monitor Kit: ESP32 to Node-RED on Pi 5
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Imagine standing in front of a real-time dashboard showing temperature and humidity across two zones of a server room, with data streaming wirelessly from ESP32 sensors to a Raspberry Pi 5 running Node-RED. This kit lets you build that complete IoT monitoring pipeline—sensor to database to visualisation—just like what powers environmental alerts in data centres and manufacturing plants.
What You'll Build
From soldering-free assembly to a live web dashboard, you'll create a two-sensor wireless monitoring network over MQTT. The final system continuously reads DHT22 and BMP280 data, stores it on the Pi 5's NVMe SSD, and displays it as real-time gauges and charts in Node-RED—accessible from any browser in your lab network.
What You'll Learn
- Program ESP32 microcontrollers to read digital sensors (I2C, one-wire) and publish to MQTT topics
- Configure a Raspberry Pi 5 with NVMe SSD for fast boot and data storage using M.2 HAT+
- Design a Node-RED flow that subscribes to MQTT data and creates a live monitoring dashboard
- Understand the full IoT pipeline from edge device to local visualisation, used in industrial monitoring

Who This Kit Is For
This intermediate IoT kit is ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE students in their third or fourth semester tackling embedded systems and IoT lab assignments, as well as teams preparing for Smart India Hackathon hardware challenges. It’s also a powerful addition to ATL Tinkering Labs for senior secondary students (Class 11–12) who have moved beyond Arduino and are ready to build industry-style monitoring systems with ESP32 and Raspberry Pi.
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?
The AI companion gives step-by-step guidance on wiring, code, and Node-RED flows. Scan the QR code or message us on WhatsApp for human help.
Do I need a soldering iron or special tools?
No soldering. All connections use pre-soldered header pins and jumper wires on a breadboard. You only need a computer and a Wi-Fi network.
Can I expand this to monitor more server zones later?
Yes. The MQTT broker on the Pi 5 handles many clients. Just add more ESP32 sensor nodes and update the Node-RED dashboard to display additional zones.
What if I’ve never used Node-RED or MQTT before?
The AI build companion walks you through setting up the Mosquitto broker, flashing code to the ESP32s, and building the Node-RED flow from scratch. No prior dashboard experience is needed.
Data Centre — ESP32 sensors feed Node-RED dashboard on Pi 5 via MQTT — complete IoT pipeline from sensor to visualisation.
