Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article presents a novel method for developing a stationary remote monitoring system for solar heating / hot water supply systems designed for industrial or residential use. The system is based on a T-Call ESP 32 SIM800L board with a BME280 sensor that can operate in deep sleep mode. The logic board contains a SIM card to connect to the Internet on a data plan. It communicates sensor readings to the server and goes back to sleep mode. The presented case has 60 minutes of sleep, which can be reconfigured easily in the code. The proposed system of remote monitoring and control enables more efficient utilization of solar collector systems for industrial and residential heating and hot water supply.
