Sinusitis is inflammation of the cavities around the nose, caused by viruses or allergic reactions of bacteria, fungi, and ARI. Other influential factors are polluting the environment, cold air, and dry. There is no specific device that can help sinusitis sufferers in monitoring air condition. This research was developed to be easy to use for people with sinusitis to be able to display temperature and humidity in real-time using a BME280 sensor and providing action in the form of a humidifier when the humidity is below the set point. The trial results show that the data sent has been successfully received by the output and can turn on the humidifier. From the measurement data obtained, 2,571% error for temperature measurement and 5,898% for humidity measurement. The results of interviews with participants found that this device can help sufferers of sinusitis as a preventive measure if the air condition is not good.
