Abstract. A remote temperature and humidity monitoring system is designed based on the GSM technology and
MSP430. With the digital sensor DSB1820 and SHT11, the temperature and humidity of the granary are detected, and
these parameters can be adjusted with the controlling system to adapt various working conditions. Through the GSM
system, the detected data could be sent to various monitoring devices, such as cellphones and laptops. These data can
be used for data display, inquiry, controlling and storage at the remote terminals. The experimental results show that
the system is convenient and concise, which meets the remote monitoring demand for the modern granary.
