If you're looking to control the temperature and humidity in your home or office, using an Arduino and a DHT11 sensor on Proteus is a simple and effective solution. With a real-time set point, you can ensure that the temperature and humidity levels remain within a comfortable range, making for a more pleasant living or working environment.

To get started, you'll need to install the DHT11 library for Arduino. This is easy to do and can be found in the Arduino documentation. Next, open a new Arduino sketch and import the DHT11 library by going to Sketch > Include Library > DHT11.
In your sketch, you'll need to declare the DHT11 sensor and the pin it is connected to. For example:
In the setup() function, initialize the DHT sensor by calling dht.begin(). In the loop() function, you can read the temperature and humidity values from the sensor by calling dht. read temperature () and dht. read humidity ().

To set the real-time setpoint values, you'll need to define variables for the desired temperature and humidity. For example:
Then, use an if statement to compare the current temperature and humidity values to the setpoint values. If the values are outside of the desired range, you can turn on or off a heater or humidifier as needed to bring the values back within range.

Using the Arduino serial monitor, you can display the current temperature and humidity values, as well as the setpoint values, for debugging purposes.
With these steps, you'll be able to easily control the temperature and humidity in your space using an Arduino, DHT11 sensor, and Proteus. Not only will this make for a more comfortable environment, it can also help to reduce energy costs by only heating or cooling when necessary. So, it is a cost-effective and easy solution for controlling temperature and humidity.

Temperature and Humidity Controller with Real Time Set Point using DHT11 with Arduino on Proteus
Maintaining the proper temperature and humidity levels in a given environment is important for a variety of applications, such as in greenhouses, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. One way to achieve this is by using a temperature and humidity controller.
In this tutorial, we will be demonstrating how to create a temperature and humidity controller with a real-time set point using an Arduino, a DHT11 sensor, and Proteus software. The DHT11 sensor will be used to measure the temperature and humidity levels, and the Arduino will be used to control a heater or air conditioner to maintain the desired set point.
Here's what you'll need:
- Arduino Uno or similar
- DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor
- Breadboard
- Jumper wires
- Proteus software
First, let's start by setting up the hardware. Connect the DHT11 sensor to the breadboard using jumper wires, as shown in the diagram below.

Next, connect the Arduino to the breadboard using jumper wires. The DHT11 sensor will be connected to digital pin 2 on the Arduino.
Now, let's move on to the software side of things. Open up Proteus and create a new project.
Add an Arduino Uno and a DHT11 sensor to the workspace by going to the "P Components" tab and searching for them in the library.

Once you have added the Arduino and DHT11 to the workspace, connect them using wires. The DHT11 should be connected to digital pin 2 on the Arduino.
Next, we need to write the code for the Arduino. In this example, we will be using the Arduino's built-in temperature and humidity library to read the data from the DHT11 sensor.

Upload the code to the Arduino using the Proteus software.
Now that the hardware and software are set up, we can begin using the temperature and humidity controller.
To set the desired temperature and humidity levels, you can use the Serial Monitor in the Proteus software. The current temperature and humidity readings will be displayed in the monitor, and you can use this information to adjust the set point as needed.
For example, if the current temperature is too high, you can turn on the air conditioner to cool the room down to the desired set point. Similarly, if the humidity is too low, you can turn on a humidifier to bring it up to the desired level.

By using the Serial Monitor in the Proteus software, you can easily adjust the set point and monitor the current temperature and humidity levels. This allows you to make necessary adjustments to ensure that the desired levels are maintained.
With a little bit of hardware and software setup, you can create a reliable and effective temperature and humidity controller using an Arduino and a DHT11 sensor. Happy building!
