Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit v3
Wine Cellar Climate Monitor Kit v3 — Protect Your Collection with Arduino Precision
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Your wine collection deserves a guardian that never sleeps. This kit equips you to build a dedicated climate monitor that logs temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure with laboratory precision, time-stamps every reading via satellite-synchronised GPS, and optionally extends your reach with a directional 433MHz Yagi antenna — all operated by an Arduino Mega 2560 brain. Whether you manage a private cellar in Nashik or a temperature‑controlled archive in Hyderabad, this project gives you the data integrity serious storage demands.
What You'll Build
You assemble a standalone environmental logger featuring a bright 0.96‑inch OLED display for at‑a‑glance readings, a microSD card slot for months of continuous logging, and a real‑time clock that stays accurate even during power cuts. The unit is ready to receive signals from optional wireless sensor nodes, giving you visibility into remote corners of large cellars without running cables.
What You'll Learn
- Precision sensor fusion — combine BMP280 barometric pressure/temperature and DHT22 humidity data for a complete climate picture
- Satellite‑synchronised timekeeping with the DS3231 RTC and NEO‑6M GPS module
- Soldering and PCB assembly on a double‑sided prototype board
- Directional antenna basics — how a Yagi antenna can extend the range of 433MHz wireless sensors

Who This Kit Is For
Discerning wine collectors and cellar operators who need trustworthy data to preserve their investment. It also suits advanced electronics enthusiasts and B.Tech ECE/EEE students exploring environmental monitoring, sensor logging, and GPS‑based time synchronisation — a project that aligns naturally with Smart India Hackathon themes or capstone work at IIT/NIT/VIT labs.
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 inside the box to start a conversation with the AI companion. If you need human guidance, reach out on WhatsApp — we’ll help you debug within 2 hours.
Can I use the monitor without the Yagi antenna?
Absolutely. The core temperature, humidity, and pressure logging works fully with the local sensors. The 433MHz Yagi antenna is included for optional wireless sensor expansion — you can add remote nodes later.
How long can I log data before the SD card fills up?
With the included microSD module and a standard 8 GB card (not supplied), you can log readings every 5 seconds for over 6 months. Older files can be automatically rotated to save space.
Does this kit require any external power source?
You can power the system via any 7–12 V DC supply using the LM2596 buck converter, or from a USB power bank for portable cellar audits. The circuit is designed to run efficiently on a single power input.
Wine Storage — RTL-SDR dongle + Raspberry Pi + Arduino receive and decode RS41 radiosonde signals to reconstruct upper atmosphere profiles.
