Design Smart Chicken Cage Based On Internet Of Things

Abstract

Cages are a place for all livestock activities. One important part to be considered in raising broilers is the temperature and humidity in the cage must be maintained so that growth can be optimal. And the air quality in the cage must be maintained so that the chicken is not exposed to the disease because with a closed cage system can remove excess heat, harmful gases such as NH3 (ammonia), CO, CO2. With the advancement of technology that continues to grow until now by developing internet of things based products that can communicate with each other through the internet. Then a device was designed to control temperature and humidity using DHT22 sensor, ammonia gas with MQ-135 sensor, and automatic feeder with HY-SRF05 sensor and servo motor. Furthermore, from the three sensors processed by Nodemcu ESP8266, the results are displayed on the 20×4 LCD and Android smartphones with the Blynk application. After collecting data and testing analysis, it can be concluded that the results of the sensor accuracy test to measure temperature with DHT22 sensor are 97.99%-100% and to measure humidity with DHT22 sensor is 97%-99.94%. For the measurement of ammonia levels the largest average reaches 9.33-11.33 ppm, where there is a warning notification when ammonia gas is more or equal to 25 ppm. While the accuracy of feed distance measurements using the HY-SRF05 sensor the largest average reached 92.27%-96.91%. on IoT testing it has run well as long as it is connected to WiFi. With this system it can make it easier for farmers to monitor and control the condition of the chicken coop.
