IoT system for humidity and temperature monitoring to promote Cultivation of mushrooms in greenhouses to have a complete product

Abstract

This research objectives were 1) to study components of the IoT system for humidity and temperature monitoring to promote Cultivation of mushrooms in greenhouses to have a complete product, 2) to develop the IoT, and 3) to transfer the IoT system to community. The target group was a planting house of BanDongNoi community in Khwao, Maueng, Mahasarakham. The research tools were 1) the system fitness assessment form, 2) the system performance assessment form, 3) the system effectiveness assessment, and 4) the system satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used in this research were mean and standard deviation.

            The research results were as followed: 1) the system components were comprised of 1.1) the control system, 1.2) the water supply system, 1.3) the heat distribution system, 1.4) the air suction system, and 1.5) the heat generating system, where the system components were suitable at the highest level. 2) the control system was able to manage the systems in accordance with the set condition and situation. The system performance assessed by experts was at the highest level. 3) Using the system yielded the better effectiveness because the system was able to control humidity and temperature in the planting house. Therefore, this lower the rate of mushroom being damaged by black mold. Besides, it also increased the quality of mushrooms such as weight and moist in the mushrooms, as well as the quantity. The mushrooms can be preserved longer and grew regularly. The system was able to function throughout the year because of the heat generating system and humidity control system which satisfied the community at the highest level.
