The development of quail eggs smart incubator for hatching system based on microcontroller and Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

For the quail farmers, hatching the eggs in a big number is a problem to producing the quail which incubate by quail parent manually. In this research describe the development of quail eggs smart incubator. The incubator system based on Arduino microcontroller can control the temperature, humidity, and reversal the quail eggs automatically. In addition, Internet of Things (IoT) system can help farmers to monitor the smart incubator from a distance. The quail eggs smart incubator be applied to hatching the quail eggs at CV Slamet Quail Farm, Sukabumi, Indonesia show the best result to hatching the quail eggs. The quail eggs has been successfully hatch normally is 87.55%, 0.41% hatch but defective, 1.84% hatch but dead, and 10.20% not hatch by 490 eggs in 17th days of incubate period.
