Studying the Temperature and Humidity of the Environment to Determine the Best Location for the Swimming Pool with BME280 and ESP32

Abstract

The typical daily pool moisture content amounts to approximately a quarter of an inch, with an accumulation of over two inches within a week. This phenomenon can be attributed to the elevation in temperature and humidity within the pool area, triggered by an increase in swimming activity. As more individuals engage in swimming, both the water temperature and the overall ambient temperature rise, thereby expediting the evaporation of pool water. One of the key determinants of water evaporation is its temperature, which varies between indoor and outdoor pools. This paper delves into an analysis of the ambient temperature and humidity to identify the optimal location for a swimming pool, leveraging the BME280, ESP32, and Favoriot dashboard platform. The findings illustrate that the utilization of the BME280 sensor can effectively establish the most suitable swimming pool condition based on environmental temperature and humidity. The data gathered suggests that indoor pools are a preferred choice, given their ability to shield against the erratic outdoor conditions, thereby ensuring a more consistent temperature.
