Project IOT Pertanian System Hydroponic #3

Introduction

This tutorial guides you through the process of creating an IoT-based hydroponic farming system, as demonstrated in the video by Efendy Yasin. The project integrates hydroponics with remote control functionality using voice commands, making it an innovative solution for modern agriculture. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience with IoT, this guide will help you set up your own system.

Step 1: Gather Required Components

Before starting your project, ensure you have all necessary components:

• Hydroponic System Supplies

  • Hydroponic grow bed
  • Nutrient solution
  • Submersible pump
  • Reservoir for water

• Electronics

  • Microcontroller (like Arduino or Raspberry Pi)
  • Relay module
  • Sensors (pH, temperature, moisture)
  • Wi-Fi module (e.g., ESP8266)
  • Jumper wires and breadboard

• Power Supply

  • Appropriate power adapter for the microcontroller and pump

Step 2: Set Up the Hydroponic System

Follow these steps to assemble your hydroponic system:

1. Construct the Grow Bed

   • Place the grow bed above the reservoir.
   • Ensure it has drainage holes for excess water.

2. Install the Pump

   • Position the submersible pump in the reservoir.
   • Connect a tube from the pump to the grow bed to circulate nutrients.

3. Fill the Reservoir

   • Add water to the reservoir and mix in the nutrient solution according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 3: Connect the Electronics

Set up the electronic components to allow remote control:

1. Microcontroller Setup

   • Connect the microcontroller to the Wi-Fi module.
   • Ensure the relay module is connected to the pump.

2. Sensor Integration

   • Connect the sensors (pH, temperature, moisture) to the microcontroller.
   • Use jumper wires for secure connections.

3. Power Supply Connection

   • Connect the microcontroller and pump to the power source.

Step 4: Programming the System

This step involves coding the microcontroller to manage the hydroponic system:

1. Install Required Libraries

   • Use Arduino IDE or similar software.
   • Install libraries for Wi-Fi and sensor management.

2. Write the Code

   • Create a basic program to read sensor values and control the pump.
   • Implement voice command features using a suitable voice recognition library.

Here’s a sample code snippet to control the pump:

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <SomeVoiceLibrary.h>

void setup() {
    // Initialize Wi-Fi and sensors
}

void loop() {
    // Read sensor data
    // Check for voice commands
    // Activate/deactivate pump based on conditions
}

3. Upload the Code
   • Connect the microcontroller to your computer and upload the code.

Step 5: Testing the System

After setting everything up, it's crucial to test the system:

1. Check Sensor Readings

   • Ensure all sensors are functioning and displaying accurate readings.

2. Test Pump Operation

   • Activate the pump manually to confirm it circulates the nutrient solution properly.

3. Voice Command Functionality

   • Test voice commands to ensure the system responds correctly to instructions.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can successfully create an IoT-based hydroponic farming system. This project not only demonstrates practical applications of technology in agriculture but also provides a foundation for further exploration in IoT and automation. As you gain experience, consider expanding your system with additional features or integrating machine learning for optimal plant growth management. Happy gardening!
