WEB-BASED WATER TEMPERATURE MONITORING BELOW THE RIVER SURFACE USING RS-485 MODULE

Abstrak

This thesis is titled "Web-Based Communication and Water Temperature Monitoring System Under the Surface of the Kapuas River Using RS-485 Module." The research aims to design and implement a system capable of real-time temperature monitoring of water beneath the surface of the Kapuas River, utilizing RS-485 communication technology. The system comprises several components, including the DS18B20 temperature sensor, ESP32 microcontroller, and RS-485 communication module. The research methodology includes hardware and software design, as well as testing to ensure accurate temperature measurements at various depths. Testing results indicate that the system operates effectively, providing accurate temperature data at different depths and displaying this information through a web interface. This system is expected to contribute to water resource management and environmental monitoring, while also raising awareness about the importance of maintaining water quality in rivers. Additionally, this research opens opportunities for further development in the field of environmental monitoring using web-based technology.
