IoT based Smart Weather Monitoring System for Poultry Farm

The application of Internet of Things (IoT) in a poultry farm allows a real-time monitoring of the context of the farm through notification to smartphone, predicts the context in advance, advises right decision at the right time that saves poultry lives, minimize the economic loss, and improves the productivity and quality. Monitoring weather of the poultry farm is one of the important issues that involves monitoring the status of the temperature, humidity, etc. that has impact on raw materials and quality of food, health condition of the poultry, feeding in time, food management, etc. Considering the fact, to improve the management and to increase the efficiency of the farm, an IoT based weather monitoring system for a poultry farm has been proposed in this article. DHT11 is used to measure the temperature and humidity in the proposed system. The collected data is transmitted to a cloud-based server, stored in a database and compared with threshold values continuously. If the stream of data crosses the threshold values and remains higher for certain duration than the system sends an alert message to smartphone and a signal to a buzzer. To validate, the proposed system has been implemented that sends alert messages to smartphone and signals to a buzzer successfully.
