Design of A Smart Monitoring and Control System for Aquaponics Based on OpenWrt

Abstract

Along with the socio-economic development, more high living standards have being pursued by human beings. However, more time has been spent engaging in work and they have no extra time to look after their playthings (e.g., fishes, flowers). The primary objective is to design a smart monitoring and control device for aquaponics, which is an eco-friendly system for ornamental fish and hydroponic plants. The significance and specific functions of the system was firstly described in details, and then the architecture, hardware components and software design were also introduced. The system consists of three parts: data acquisition, mobile transfer and intelligently interactive application. Specifically, the data that acquired by webcam and some smart sensors are analyzed and processed for man-machine interaction. Meanwhile, users can also use the mobile terminal to monitor and control the smart aquaponics remotely. The design of the system can promote the rapid development of smart aquaponics.
