Penggunaan Internet of Things (IoT) untuk Pemantauan dan Pengendalian Sistem Hidroponik

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) has been widely used in development of technology recently. IoT could be interpreted as communication between devices using internet. The advance of IoT technology can ease lot of works, including king control of hydroponic system, so plant treatment can be done anywhere and anytime. Hydroponic is the best solution to people in urban area, who lacks land for greening. Components required in the IoT are devices that have an IoT module, device(s) to connect to Internet such as router or modem, and a database where everythings collected. The purpose of this research is to utilize IoT technology to monitor and control the condition of plants on the hydroponics system remotely. Sensor results processing from end device microcontroller will be sent by XBee to the server microcontroller and displayed to ThingSpeak web server. An application is made for ThingSpeak-connected smartphones that able to monitor and control the system anytime and anywhere. The control will send a logic of one or zero to ThingSpeak and forwarded to the device.
