Website-Based Monitoring System for Methane (CH₄) Concentration, Humidity, and Temperature

The research developed a monitoring system that focuses on the development of a system and the acquisition of its readings into a simple website. This research was conducted in an effort to obtain data that can be used for managing methane gas pollution in the environment. Methane gas ( CH 4 ) is a natural gas consisting of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. Methane gas is one of the greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, while humidity and temperature can increase or decrease methane gas productivity. Therefore, in this research, a monitoring system was created for methane gas concentration using TGS2611 sensor, humidity and temperature using DHT11 sensor through the creation of a chamber connected to test materials such as cow dung digesters and tofu wastewater as a source of methane gas production. The results obtained indicate that, in the development of the monitoring system as a measuring tool, it successfully detects the concentration of methane gas, humidity and temperature for each test material using calibration through characteristic equation V = 0,5591 ln( n ) − 2,2657. For data acquisition in the form of methane gas concentration parameter readings by the TGS2611 sensor, humidity and temperature by the DHT11 sensor to the ESP8266 microcontroller to be displayed on the serial monitor, LCD, and the website that has been created in real-time. To display the data acquisition of the monitoring system, each component of the system is connected. Starting from software, hardware, and test materials. Data acquisition begins with sensor readings by ESP8266 through a program from Arduino IDE displayed on the serial monitor and LCD. Once connected to wifi or a hotspot and the data is successfully sent, the data will be checked by notepad++ and entered into the phpMyAdmin website database for storage. From this database. The data will then be displayed on the website that has been created in real-time. Additionally, humidity and temperature affect the increase and decrease in methane gas concentration productivity.
