Design of Monitoring System for Induced Flowering of Plum Mango
Abstract
Plumeria is an economic plant which has a high value and demand in domestic and international markets. However, production is limited by an unsuitable environment, as the average ambient temperature for planting should be around 18-20 °C throughout the year, which allows Plumeria to flower during winter. Therefore, the researcher used a cold room to control temperature and utilized the Internet of Things (IoTs) concept to track internal and external conditions with 3 types of experiment. The researcher used 6 ea of DHT22 sensors to measure temperature and humidity, a YHDC SCT-013 sensor to measure electricity, and an Arduino IDE program to write commands on Node MCU (ESP8266 and ESP32) to receive data that was then sent to Cloud (Firebase), allowing users to analyze, track data and forecast the energy consumption of the cold room with reporting the efficiency of the system (sCOP) in real-time.
