Understanding & Interfacing MLX90614 with Raspberry pi.

This project is simple if we divide the project into parts.

Raspberry Pi 3 (any version would be fine).

All the basic Hardware and Software requirements are previously discussed, you can look it up in the Raspberry Pi Introduction and Raspberry PI LED Blinking for getting started, other than that we need:

Here we are using Raspberry Pi 3 Raspbian OS. Smart Thermometer using Arduino with Android Application.Wall Mount Non-Contact Thermometer using Arduino.Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer Gun using Arduino.Contactless Body Temperature screening using RFID and Arduino with MLX90614.Arduino based digital thermometer using MAX30205.Previously we have also built other similar thermometers for body temperature measurement, you can find them here.

In this project, we will leverage the power of IoT and we will build a Temperature Monitoring device with Email alerts using Raspberry Pi, MLX90614, and PiCamera. In today’s world, the Internet of Things is revolutionizing our life by developing a number of systems which can be monitored and controlled remotely. In this project, we will interface an IR temperature sensor and send the email alerts with the image of the person if the temperature of any particular person exceeds the set value. There are many temperature guns available in the market, but none of them gives any alert or email notification to higher authorities to take appropriate actions when the temperature exceeds a particular limit. These devices have non-contact IR temperature sensors which can measure the body temperature without any physical contact. To solve this issue, temperature devices are often used to measure body temperature. Since the corona outbreak, it has become very difficult to identify those who are affected by the virus or not.
