Hydroponic Box Design with an IoT Monitoring System

Abstract Hydroponics is a choice for people who wish to plant various types of plants that can be consumed daily by the growers. In addition, hydroponics is one method of growing crops on a small area of land so that it is highly suitable for cultivation in urban areas. However, this system has several shortcomings, particularly how hydroponics requires a controlled environment, especially in monitoring temperature and humidity. Temperature and humidity need to be monitored and controlled to avoid reducing the quality of the plants and prevent them from withering. Therefore, aBlynk-based nutrition monitoring system (IoT) is needed to save time. This IoT system is built using a NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller which is supported by internet access.
