Abstract
Ornamental fish enthusiasts sometimes busy with other matters that take a long time so they do not have time to care for their pet fish. Therefore it is needed automation in maintaining fish in the aquarium. This study aims to make it easier to maintain ornamental fish in the aquarium by automate feeding activities, replacing water, and adjusting water temperatures. This automation uses the prototype method so that it is easy to improve continuously, data collection is done by collecting several articles related to the title taken by the author. NodeMCU is used as a temperature sensor data reader, pH, Ultrasonic and servo data receiver, relay to turn on the valve, pump, heater, fan. The results of the data will be sent wirelessly to smartphones via the Blynk application. The results of this study are a tool that can feed according to a predetermined schedule, replacing water according to the acidity of the water's pH, and adjusting the temperature to its natural habitat. Thus this automation tool will be useful for fans who are busy with their work, especially those who often go out of town in days.
Highlights
Considering the function of ornamental fish to be enjoyed for its beauty, the management of its health is very important, the condition of an unhealthy or sick ornamental fish will have an impact on its beauty [1]
Obstacles in maintaining ornamental fish usually occur when ornamental fish enthusiasts are busy with other matters and do not have time to control the fish feeding schedule, the state of the aquarium water which makes the fish limp and susceptible to parasites so that the ornamental fish is stressed that can result in death [1]
Based on a research conducted by Rizko Oktaprianna, Yamato, Bloko Budi Rijadi entitled "Smart Aquarium Design Using Arduino Atmega 2560 Based on the Internet of Things (IoT)," the tools they designed can read indicators of water volume, water temperature, water pH, can feed automatically. and can turn on and off devices contained in the aquarium such as ultraviolet lights, pumps, and heaters
Summary
Considering the function of ornamental fish to be enjoyed for its beauty, the management of its health is very important, the condition of an unhealthy or sick ornamental fish will have an impact on its beauty [1]. Ornamental fish enthusiasts need for an aquarium that can monitor water conditions and can feed fish in the aquarium automatically at a predetermined time. The research is entitled "Design and Implementation of Aquarium Automation Systems Using NodeMCU" in the hope of helping to care for ornamental fish in the aquarium, so that it can feed fish automatically and monitor water conditions. With this tool, it is hoped that that fish can grow according to its age and can always be in good health
