Abstract

The concept of urban farming and vertical farming is one of the concepts [1] that has arisen, which has received a lot of attention and has begun research and experimentation in many countries to solve the problems mentioned above. Vertical farming can be carried out all year round, uses limited space, can prevent diseases and pests, saves energy, but produces 5-10 times higher yields than conventional farming when compared to farming in the Samearea  Saowani [6]  The research on the design and development of materials for cone growing under automatic control was initiated from this cause, with the following goals: 1. Develop and apply materials for vertical cone growing controlled by Internet of Things technology. 2. Test the performance of the vertical cone growing system controlled by Internet of Things. 3. Study the energy utilization controlled by Internet of Things. The methodology Create planting materials in the shape of a vertical cone and include Internet of Things technology using the Node MCU ESP8266, which uses a relay and DHT11 to switch the system on and off. Additionally, it may be controlled with a mobile device via the Blynk application. The plants cultivated in cones in the testing room grew well, and it was discovered that the cone-shaped planting materials and the watering and liquid fertilizer system could operate in accordance with the instruction to switch on and off according to the stipulated length of time, which is 100%.
