Green IoT-Based Automated Door Hydroponics Farming System

Hydroponics refers to growing plants using a nutrient-rich water solution instead. The roots of the plants are submerged in the solution, which provides them with all the necessary nutrients for growth. All the hydroponics systems use water as the main growing medium. The restriction in a greenhouse environment is to maintain a specific amount of temperature, pressure, and humidity. Another challenging task that needs to be maintained in hydroponics is the monitoring of the pH value and electrical conductivity. Manual monitoring and late fixation may lead the plants to die. This paper proposes a fully automated hydroponics system along with the integration of green IoT which ensures an environment-friendly, energy-saving, sustainable farming method. This system automatically monitors and adjusts parameters, supplies necessary resources, and uploads data in a cloud server using IoT. An application will inform users of the current status on their mobile devices for quick monitoring and maintenance.
