Abstract

Hydroponic farming is gaining international attention due to its successful stockpiling of water and the development of high-quality foods. Formerly, majority of gardeners and farmers employed manual techniques and work. This has give impact on present and future food demand since the traditional farming system will not be able to meet due to urbanization, natural disasters, and climate change, among other factors. Therefore, the goal of this project is to design and develop the prototype of the hydroponics system and data monitoring in real time via IoT as well as to test the performance by collecting real-time data. The project used Arduino-Uno to control the system and to receive the readings from all of the sensors, such as pH, temperature, EC and water level. The WiFi module will transmit the data wirelessly to ThingSpeak and Spreadsheet, allowing the farmer to monitor the plant performance through the use of an Internet of Things. Results show that the parameters fulfill the requirement by the proper guideline. Thus, the farmers could monitor the temperature and lighting schedules based on the sensors data, which will boost plant productivity and address other agricultural issues.
