Pemantau Suhu dan Kadar Air Kompos Berbasis Internet Of Things (Iot) dengan Arduino Mega dan Esp8266

In composting process, temperature and water content are specific thus needs to be monitored continuously. The objective of this study was to monitor temperature and moisture content in real time during the process of straw and chicken manure composting. This device combined with Internet technology called the Internet of Things (IOT) and consist of Arduino Mega 2560 board, DS18B20 temperature sensor, resistive based moisture content probe with IC 555 as the current excitation. The results of the temperature and moisture content displayed on the LCD 4x20 and can be seen online at sites thingspeak.com because transmitted by ESP8266 wifi module. Data temperature and moisture content of compost material was also stored to the sd card.
