A Development of Web Application for Hydroponic Monitoring Systems

Abstract

A development of web application for a hydroponic monitoring system (HMS) is presented. The HMS is to collect data of hydroponic plants such as quality and quantity of nutrient solution. The HMS is integrated to internet such that the collected data is stored in a cloud server. The data can be accessed by users through a web application. This study is to develop the web application as an interface for accessing the HMS data in real time. The web development is done by implementing the user centred design (UCD) method. A study case of monitoring hydroponic temperatures is presented in this development. It resulted in a web application that presents real-time data of the temperatures in numerically as well as graphically. This web application provides an informative, attractive, and user-friendly interface of the HMS.
