Abstract: The escalating degradation of environmental quality in educational institutions and public spaces demands cost -effective, real-time monitoring solutions. Conventional systems rely on centralised infrastructure or mobile applications that fail to deliver localised, immediate feedback. This paper presents AgroNexus, an IoT-driven environmental monitoring and public display platform that integrates the ESP32 microcontroller with four sensing modules—DHT22 (temperature and humidity), MQ135 (air quality), a rain sensor (precipitation detection), and DS3231 (real-time clock)—to deliver continuous data acquisition, threshold-based alerting, and live display via a six-panel P10 LED matrix. Experiments conducted in a simulated campus environment demonstrate that AgroNexus achieves high sensor accuracy, low false-alert rates, and sub-three-second display refresh cycles, outperforming single-sensor baselines across all evaluation metrics. The framework is economical, scalable, and readily deployable in smart campuses, industrial zones, and public spaces, establishing a transparent and auditable pipeline for environmental awareness.
