Micro climate monitoring system in closed broiler cages based on the internet of things

Abstract

Smart agriculture has an emerged concept by using IoT sensors capable of providing various information about their field condition and conducting environmental monitoring to improve the yield of efficient crops. This research aims to develop a microclimate monitoring system in a closed house. The microclimate being monitored is the effective temperature, which is the temperature felt by broilers at that time in a fast area. In this research, IoT has been implemented using WeMos D1 R32 by sending sensor data to observe the effective temperature parameters as actual temperature, humidity, and wind speed into an MQTT cloud server. Microclimate control in the cage is based on effective temperature. The data can be displayed on a 16x4 LCD screen and accessed via an Android smartphone from anywhere and at any time.
