摘要

The production of vegetables at home, for marketing or own consumption, is possible. However, temperature and humidity, as well as the pH of the nutrient solution must be controlled. They directly affect productivity. A monitoring system was implemented, so the user can take corrective actions if necessary. As a result, information about the variables of interest is available. The implementation of a monitoring system in a hydroponic microclimate is described in this paper. The nutrient film technique was followed, and the Internet of Things was used, through an embedded system with a low-cost microcontroller. This system collects and sends the information to a database. The purpose is to provide a report on the temperature, pH, and humidity and improve productivity.
