During the summer, temperatures inside military barracks can rise significantly, affecting both the health and rest efficiency of personnel. This article presents an indoor environmental control system designed to operate without relying on a Wi-Fi network, thereby enhancing flexibility and system stability. The system employs wireless communication between ESP32 devices to transmit data from temperature and humidity sensors to a control unit that manages the operation of a water pump. It responds to environmental changes in real time and displays live data. This system effectively reduces indoor temperatures while consuming less energy than traditional methods. The evaluation consisted of two parts: communication performance testing, which showed that the system operated continuously even in areas without Wi-Fi, and sensor accuracy testing, which compared the results to standard instruments. The system demonstrated an accuracy of 98.12% for temperature and 97.07% for humidity. Based on the findings, this system shows strong potential for application in other types of buildings requiring low-cost, user-friendly, and energy-efficient automatic control solutions.
