Development of a hydroponics vegetable growing system with embedded systems via NETPIE

Abstract

The purposes of the research were to study and develop the Hydroponics vegetable growing system with embedded system via NETPIE controller set. In the control of hydroponic vegetable growing using IoT technology by showing the water status in the hydroponic vegetable plot. The status of various devices through the website or application to allow farmers who grow hydroponic vegetables to access information more easily and can still operate via the website or application. The equipment and tools used in the development consists of 2 parts which are hardware such as Arduino Uno R3, NodeMCU ESP8266, pH sensor, TDS sensor, Water Pump 12V, Dosing Pump 12V, Switching Power Supply 12V, LCD I2C, LED lamp, Selector switch and Relay 5V 4 channels, the software part is Arduino IDE, NETPIE IoT Cloud Platform and Windows 10 operating system.
The research findings showed that Hydroponics vegetable growing system with embedded system via NETPIE controller set can facilitate agriculture to fertilizer, hydroponic vegetables and water conditions. And can also be aware of real time water conditions in vegetable hydroponics. The experimental results using a controller set in the control of hydroponic vegetable growing with IoT technology and take the result and analyze it with the basic statistic value comparing with the criteria found that using the system in the expert section and hydroponic farmers with an average of 4.32 at a good level.
