Develop an Environmental Control System Using Internet of Things (IoT) Technology in a Frog Breeding House

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop an environmental control system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology in a frog breeding house, 2) test the environmental control system using IoT technology in a frog breeding house, and 3) study farmers' satisfaction with the environmental control system using IoT technology in a frog breeding house. The target group consisted of 40 farmers in Ban Kham Pla Fa, Khammin Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kalasin Province. The research instruments included: 1) an environmental control system using IoT technology in a frog breeding house, 2) a system performance test record form, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire. The system performance test measured two parameters: 1) temperature and 2) relative humidity. The statistics used in the research were mean, percentage, and standard deviation.

The research findings were as follows: 1) the development of the environmental control system using IoT technology in the frog breeding house revealed four main components:                 (1) a temperature and humidity measurement system, (2) a data entry system, (3) a data storage system, and (4) a processing system. The system effectively displayed data on a screen, demonstrating high efficiency, 2) The performance test of the environmental control system in the experimental house found that the system could measure temperatures ranging from 0–100 ˚C and relative humidity levels from 20% RH to 80% RH. The optimal environmental conditions for the frog breeding house were identified as a temperature of 30 ˚C and a humidity level of 60% RH. The system displayed real-time temperature and humidity data on a screen, enabling farmers to continuously monitor and analyze information for year-round frog breeding, even during winter. When comparing the traditional system with the new system, the new system proved to be more efficient in terms of automatic water changes, reduced labor requirements, and shorter water change times and
3) the study of farmers' satisfaction with the environmental control system using IoT technology in the frog breeding house showed an overall satisfaction rating at a "very good" level, with an average score of (  = 4.44, SD. = 0.45). Specifically, the system was rated as highly beneficial for career development, with an average score of ( = 4.55, SD. = 0.50).
