Monitoring System of Humidity Environmental on Chilli Red Green House Aeroponic System

Abstract

- The research aims at monitoring the humidity of chilli plants on aeroponic growing media in greenhouses. The aeroponic system is used because of limited land for planting chili, while the Greenhouse is designed to manipulate the climate needed for chili plants to be able to grow optimally to produce chili with good quality and quantity. Moisture measurements are carried out using the DHT11 sensor connected to Arduino Mega 2560. The humidity value is monitored in the morning, afternoon and evening. The moisture value read by the DHT11 sensor is displayed on the 16x2 LDC (Liquid Crystal Display) found on the aeroponic table to make it easier to observe the moisture values needed by chili plants. The monitoring results are 3 morning conditions between 83% -95%, Daytime 63% -79%, Afternoon 78% -84% This is the material of knowledge before exercising humidity control according to the aeroponic setpoint in the greenhouse.
