Abstract

This work develops a distributed environmental monitoring system for aquaponics based on the internet of things technology, which mainly includes the information IoT device layer, the information transmission layer and the system architecture. The system has employed multiple sensors terminal to real-time acquisition, including air and water temperatures, dissolved oxygen, ammonia, etc. Modbus-RTU RS485 protocol is suitable for sending big data and the 4G data logger was employed to collect data and send to the cloud platform. JavaScript is used for background applications, to access cloud platforms and local data processing. Based on the collection and processing of environmental data and cloud service platform, Grafana dashboard have been developed to control the environment and visualize. It has been implemented and tested in Unisel, Basteri Jaya for 3 months in 2022. The results showed the proposed monitoring system stability for overall operation and accuracy data transmission, which can support the actual aquaponics production management. After analysis of monitoring data collected from the developed monitoring system, indoor air temperature and indoor light have the strong negative correlation with humidity (-0.97 and -0.81) and finally, total dissolved solids and water salinity have a substantial correlation with electrical conductivity (1.0 and 1.0) respectively.
