Server Room Temperature Monitor Kit v8
Server Room Temperature Monitor Kit v8: Build a Data Centre Environment Monitor with Raspberry Pi Pico W
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 an eye on server room conditions from anywhere. This kit guides you step by step through building a continuous environmental monitor with a Raspberry Pi Pico W that reads DHT22 temperature/humidity and BMP280 pressure sensors, then publishes the data to an MQTT broker every 30 seconds — a perfect fit for data centre or network closet oversight. The same approach works for lab freezers, incubators, or any climate-sensitive space.
What You'll Build
A self-contained sensor node that captures temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, shows live readings on a 0.96‑inch OLED display, and streams them over WiFi to an MQTT broker. The published JSON payloads can be consumed by dashboard tools like Node-RED, Home Assistant, or Grafana, giving you real‑time alerts and historical logs for your server room or facility.
What You'll Learn
- Configure WiFi and MQTT communication on Raspberry Pi Pico W using MicroPython
- Wire and read DHT22 (temperature/humidity) and BMP280 (pressure/temperature) sensors
- Publish sensor readings to an MQTT broker with JSON payloads for easy dashboard integration
- Drive a 0.96‑inch OLED display as a local readout for temperature, humidity, and pressure

Who This Kit Is For
B.Tech ECE/EEE students building IoT projects, Smart India Hackathon participants prototyping environmental monitoring solutions, and CBSE Class 11‑12 students diving into advanced computer science and electronics. Equally suited for IT administrators who want a low‑cost, customisable server room environment monitor without proprietary hardware.
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 included AI companion holds your hand from breadboard layout to MQTT debugging. If you need a human, reach us on WhatsApp — we’re project builders ourselves and reply fast.
Can I use a different MQTT broker or cloud platform?
Yes. The MicroPython code is written in straightforward Python; you can point it at any MQTT broker (Mosquitto, HiveMQ, AWS IoT, etc.). The payload format is JSON, so integration with dashboard tools is seamless.
Does this kit include a server to display the data?
It provides the sensor node and shows data on the OLED. You’ll set up your own MQTT broker and dashboard — we include step‑by‑step guides for free Mosquitto and Node‑RED installations to get you going quickly.
Is soldering required?
No. All connections use the provided breadboard and pre‑soldered header pins on the modules. You’ll just be plugging wires, no soldering iron needed.
Data Centre — Pico W publishes DHT22 + BMP280 readings to MQTT broker over WiFi every 30 seconds from MicroPython.
