Sistem Monitoring Kelembaban, Suhu dan pH pada Media Maggot Black Soldier Fly (BSF) Terintegrasi Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Increasing the production of maggot cultivation requires control of growth media quality parameters including humidity, temperature and pH. The monitoring system of humidity, temperature and pH in black soldier fly (BSF) maggot media integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT) aims to monitor rice bran as maggot media. The detection of humidity, temperature and pH of maggot media uses Soil moisture sensor, DS18B20 Sensor, and soil pH meter sensor respectively. The system is designed to perform watering when the humidity is below 50% and the temperature is above 36oC. The research was conducted for 20 days with data collection 4x/day (at 08.00 WIB, 12.00 WIB, 16.00 WIB and 20.00 WIB). Then, the media was divided into controlled media racks and uncontrolled media racks, the same weight of magot was set on each rack. Based on the measurement results of the controlled media range, humidity was between 47-71% RH, temperature 26-38oC, and pH 5.2-7.5. While the uncontrolled media, the humidity is between 32-60% RH, temperature 29.1-46oC, and pH 5-7.8. The monitoring system can run well, good and successfully measure the indicated parameters that are able to read the humidity, temperature and pH sensors. Then, LCD displays and stored in microSD. The final weight of the controlled maggot media is 1.2 kg and the uncontrolled is 0.9 kg. Thus, parameter control and automatic watering can increase maggot growth with a final weight difference of 4:3.
