In this research an internet of things (IoT) system is designed for the purpose of industrial environment monitoring and control. The system is mainly composed of control and sensor units. Control unit has the responsibility of managing the received data form the sensor unit and then executing the developed control algorithm based on the measured parameters. NodeMCU development kit is used as the core of the control unit. The senor unit contains gas and temperature sensors utilized for measuring the temperature and concentration of toxic gases in the monitored space. A buzzer has also been embedded in the sensor unit for alerting the occupants acoustically in the danger situations. If the monitored temperature gets higher or lower than the set levels, the air conditioning system will be automatically operated. Similarly, the fan (ventilation) system will be operated if the level of toxic gases becomes high. A mobile application, based on Blynk platform, is then developed to enable the wireless monitoring and control of the environment by the in charge people. In addition to the automatic and wireless control the manual control capability is considered in the developed IoT system.
