Thingview Free: Application of Smart Greenhouse for Chilli Plant on Android

Abstract

Abstract Monitoring and controlling of the greenhouse climate are carried out so that the climate in the greenhouse is in accordance with the growth requirements of the chili plants in it. Automation is carried out using a humidifier, plant watering can, space heater, and fan. Microclimates that are controlled include soil humidity, temperature, and humidity. The actuator is connected to the SHT11 sensor and soil moisture sensor. The sensor is connected to the Arduino Uno so that it can give commands to the actuator. Then the ESP-01 wifi module is connected to the Arduino Uno so that the sensor reading data will be sent to the Thingspeak database to be monitored. The results of this study are humidity and temperature data before and after automation. The data after automation shows the values that match the growing requirements of chilies, namely air temperature of 20°C to 30°C, humidity of 60% to 80% and soil moisture> 50%. Monitoring of microclimate conditions in the greenhouse can be done through the Thingview Free application on android which is limited to 8 graphs in real time. Microclimate control using several actuators in the greenhouse shows that the greenhouse automation system is already running according to the microclimate conditions required by chili plants.
