Fungi are plants that have nuclei and spores and do not contain chlorophyll in the form of cells or branch threads. Fungi lack chlorophyll, so they consume food made by other dead organisms. Growing oyster mushrooms provides several benefits. Mushroom cultivation is one application of biotechnology and uses practical and simple techniques that can be carried out by people in rural areas. Mushroom cultivation is an alternative for utilizing natural biological resources, diversifying food and diet, protecting the environment and creating jobs for local communities. Not only is it delicious, but it also contains important nutritional components for human health, and can be recommended as a highly nutritious ingredient in your daily diet. Oyster mushrooms have a high nutritional content compared to other types of lying mushrooms. The growth and yield of mushroom plants is greatly influenced by environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. The ideal temperature and humidity for the growth of mushroom plants is 23°C-28°C and 70%-90%.
Therefore, the aim of this research is to design and develop an IoT (Internet of Things) based room temperature and humidity control device using Arduino Uno which can automatically maintain and control the environmental conditions of mushroom plants. The tool is equipped with various temperature and humidity sensors connected to an Arduino Uno, and the data obtained is sent to the IoT platform via a Wi-Fi connection. Users can maintain environmental conditions through the mobile application. In addition, this tool also provides the ability to control devices such as heaters and humidifiers automatically based on data received from sensors.
Initial test results show that this tool is able to maintain air temperature and humidity at optimal levels for mold growth. Therefore, this tool can help mushroom farmers efficiently increase the quality and yield of crops and reduce the risk of damage due to extreme environmental changes.
It is hoped that this IoT-based room temperature and humidity control tool can increase productivity and demand for mushroom cultivation and contribute to the development of technology-based agriculture in the future.
