Development of embedded system in monitoring temperature and humidity as supporting smart farm

Abstract

Enabling the environment is an important factor in developing livestock business. The temperature and humidity of the cage are very important aspects to consider. Inappropriate livestock cage temperature can affect livestock productivity and survival. The purpose of this research is to design a web-based temperature and humidity monitoring system, in the form of automatic regulation and measurement. In this research, embedded systems techniques are applied to build temperature monitoring systems by combining sensors and microcontrollers. Monitoring the temperature and humidity conditions of the enclosure is done through a sensor network and the classification of conditions is carried out by an intelligent system that produces web-based decision support. The sensor used to measure temperature and humidity in this monitoring system is the DHT22 sensor, while the controller is used NodeMCU. The results of this study are measurement data can be displayed on web pages that can be accessed in realtime. NodeMCU devices can be used as controllers for temperature and humidity data and successfully send data to a database that can be displayed on the website interface. Monitoring humidity and temperature is a great and easy way to record and track any changes which can help decision-makers to prepare or follow suit procedures to prevent conditions that can cause livestock.
