One of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) declared by United Nation is Climate Action. Integrated climate change measurement is one of the point in this goal. The solution in this form is low cost and open source hardware to monitor weather and air quality real time. This study goals is developing Arduino platform to monitor wind speed, air temperature, air humidity, and smoke. All circuit board, electronic component specifications, and programming software are open source and freely available for anyone to use and modify. Inexpensive sensors and Arduino Uno were used to develop low cost system. This system send data to Thingspeak as Open Internet of Things (IoT) platform which provide real time data collection, data processing, and data visualization to users. This system provide a low cost solution (system cost around one million Rupiah) to monitor weather and air quality that easily deployed in the desired geographical area. The results are plotted in graphs to ease the users monitor data both locally and remotely. This system use Arduino Uno as main processor, Real Time Clock DS3231 to provide time information, anemometer to provide wind speed, DHT22 used as humidity and temperature sensor, MQ-2 used for smoke detection and CO level, and SIM900 as GSM shield for sending data to server. Results of measurements demonstrate the usefulness of this system in weather and air quality monitoring.
