Environment monitoring plays a vital role in ensuring safety, comfort, and operational efficiency across all types of facilities — from office buildings to industrial sites. ThingsBoard is perfectly suited to address these challenges.
ThingsBoard provides a scalable, reliable, and secure platform for environment monitoring. With built-in support for LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and Sigfox, it enables efficient integration of numerous low-power sensors over long distances, minimizing infrastructure complexity. The platform supports standard IoT protocols like HTTP, MQTT, CoAP, and LwM2M, making it easy to connect a wide range of devices and scale with your project.
Automated features—from real-time alerts on critical changes to forwarding data into external analytics tools—ensure proactive monitoring. Intuitive dashboards, customizable logic, and seamless integrations turn raw environmental data into actionable insights, enabling smarter and faster decisions.

Editing Sensor T1: setting temperature and humidity thresholds and viewing sensor location on the map
Sensor data is transmitted to ThingsBoard using IoT protocols like HTTP, MQTT, CoAP, and LwM2M, or via integrations with LoRaWAN servers and other platforms.
The built-in stream processing engine instantly analyzes incoming messages, triggers events, generates alarms, and routes data to monitoring dashboards. The collected data is visualized through intuitive dashboards, giving users clear insights into alarms, and performance metrics — all in real time, from a single interface.
The dashboard has several states. The main state displays the list of the sensors, their location on the map as well as the list of their alarms. You may drill down to the sensor details state by clicking on the table row. The sensor details state allows to browse temperature and humidity history, change sensor settings and location.

Dashboard provides real-time monitoring of sensor data with interactive charts displaying metrics like temperature and humidity. The interface allows configuring alarm thresholds and sensor locations while showing active alarms with severity levels. You can analyze historical data and manage device settings.
Track real-time temperature and humidity readings from Sensor C1 along with historical data from the past hour. Compare key metrics (min/max/average values) to maintain optimal environment conditions.
Track real-time temperature and humidity readings from Sensor T1 along with historical data from the past hour. Compare key metrics (min/max/average values) to maintain optimal environment conditions.
You can configure Sensor's critical thresholds including high temperature and low humidity alarms. Precise geolocation can be modified via latitude/longitude coordinates. All changes remain pending until confirmed with the Save button. The Cancel option reverts any unsaved modifications to previous settings.
