Internet of Thing Based Automatic Temperature and Humidity Regulation Model for Oyster Mushroom Cultivation

Abstract

Digital communication technology between machine-to-machine grew quickly compared to the past years. Due to recent breakthroughs, it is easy to set up small devices which are capable to talk with each other perform automated tasks. Because of this reason, most of Internet of Things (IoT) can be used as a monitoring and automatic regulation model for any sector, namely agriculture. IoT can help the farmers, especially oyster mushroom cultivation to ensure proper mushrooms' growth. Oyster mushrooms require strict conditions to grow properly before harvest season starts. These strict requirements such as temperature and humidity are hard to monitor and regulate hourly, and farmers must check the cultivation one-by-one manually. Hence, IoT-based automatic temperature and humidity regulation model is expected to help farmers to maintain the current temperature and humidity hourly or even live situation of their cultivation. The purpose of this research is to develop an IoT-based automatic temperature and humidity regulation model to adjust oyster mushroom cultivations’ temperature and humidity using DHT22 digital sensor with a built-in tool such as pump and fan without human intervention.
