<![CDATA[The inefficiency and potential for operator error in manual height measurements limit data reliability in health and fitness monitoring. To address this, we developed an automated IoT-based system to compare the performance of HC-SR04 and HY-SRF05 ultrasonic sensors. The system architecture is built on a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller, which sends measurement data to a cloud-based Firebase platform for real-time storage and historical analysis, all visualized on a dynamic ReactJS dashboard. The evaluation involved 30 human subjects with heights ranging from 100 to 200 cm. The analysis revealed a mean absolute error of 0.20 cm (0.131%) for HY-SRF05 and 0.233 cm (0.16%) for HC-SR04. Crucially, statistical testing found no significant difference in accuracy between the two sensors (T-test, p > 0.05). The study concludes that both low-cost sensors are highly capable and statistically equivalent for this application. The complete IoT system demonstrates a robust solution for deploying affordable, scalable, and accurate automated height measurement tools, offering a significant improvement over traditional methods.]]>
