Request Temperature Data Using GSM and Arduino

⋮ 5/5/2019

Request Temperature, Project Description:

Request Temperature using GSM– This project is based on the Temperature and Humidity
monitoring using a Cell phone, Arduino, and the famous DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. In
this tutorial, you will learn how to request temperature and humidity values from anywhere around the
world using your cell phone. There are projects in which the Sensors data is sent after regular intervals,
which I believe is not good. This project is different from the rest of the GSM-based projects, as in this
project the Temperature and Humidity values are sent only when the owner sends a request message.

DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor:

The DHT11 Temperature and Humidity module have a total of 4 pins, out of which only three pins are
used. Pin number 3 is not used. The interfacing of the DHT11 temperature sensor with the Arduino can
be seen in the circuit diagram. For the complete explanation, watch the video given at the end.

GSM SIM900A Module:

This is the GSM module that I will be using in this tutorial, in the market we have different types of GSM
modules, the one I will be using today is SIM900A, the same code is also tested on sim900D, so if you
want you can also use sim900D.

If you are from Pakistan, Bangladesh or India make sure you purchase the unlocked version of the
SIM900A. This GSM SIM900A module the one we will be using in this tutorial, as you can see on the
screen has no Onboard voltage regulator, so be careful while applying the voltage. The ideal voltage for
this GSM module is 4.7v but you can also connect it with the 5v adaptor.

As the ideal voltage for this GSM module is 4.7v to 5volts, so any voltage above this can damage the
GSM module. If you don’t have the regulated 5v adaptor then you can also use an lm317t adjustable
voltage regulator. I have a very detailed tutorial on this. Watch the video.

As you can see SIM900A module has so many pins that are clearly labeled but we will be using only 5 of
these pins, the power supply pins, GND, RXD 5v, and TXD 5v. The GND of the GSM SIM900A module
will be connected with the Arduino GND, TXD of the GSM SIM900A will be connected with the Arduino
pin7 and finally, the RXD of the GSM SIM900A module will be connected with the  Arduino pin8.
