Development of a monitoring system for aquaponics in homes based on IOT

Abstract

The methodology of producing food locally is one of the most important tools in the theory of food sovereignty and security, and, in this productive profile, having animal protein becomes an important challenge to consider, for different reasons of space, logistics, odor generation, etc. Thus, hydroponic crops become a solution, especially when this system is transferred including fish farming in ponds that benefit from hydroponics. That is how this type of system, where fish is added to the hydroponics methodology and becomes aquaponic, a methodology that required to be valued, which was done using agronomic tools for its automation, measuring temperature, humidity, temperature variables and pH to control circulation and temperature, with the production of vegetables and fish in the same structure, to check the operation of the model, under electronic monitoring and remote data capture with actuators and wireless communication to a web platform. The result was the construction of a rototype that allows the integration of fish with vegetable crops, under remote monitoring with sensors, and the transmission of data to a web platform. In the conclusions, reference is made to the minimum conditions of use of this methodology with positive productive results, and the management conditions for a good use of the prototype, up to 90 % of positive results in production, efficient use of resources, and remote control systems; this as an alternative for the integrated production of
fish and vegetables in urban spaces.
