ABSTRACT 

The goal of this project was to design a data logging interface using wireless network principle in order to facilitate the process of monitoring physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, humidity, e.tc in the environment. There is a growing desire to find an efficient and cost effective means to monitor these physical parameters, especially at home and industries. The absence of a means to monitor these quantities in an environment has led to so many inadequacies.  The method adopted is a star network based topology in which each sensor node has a direct communication to the computer that performs the data logging function and also stores the information in its database. The design uses both Arduino platform for the sensor network which requires of C programming and a python platform for the data logging interface which requires the knowledge of python scripting language.  Each sensor node was connected wirelessly to the data logging device using the Wi-Fi protocol such that each device used in the network is Wi-Fi enabled including database server device.  The results from the project shows that a user-friendly user interface was created from which can be used to perform further actions by supervisors
