Water quality monitoring system based on internet of thing for oyster mushroom

Abstract

The growth of mycelium and mushroom pinheads is significantly influenced by humidity and temperature. The
purpose of this research is to develop a tool that will be able to monitor and control the irrigation system for oyster
mushroomplants using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The devices operate on an ESP8266 microcontroller
that interprets resistance values of mushrooms from an analog waterproof capacitive moisture sensor. The study
stresses the importance of oyster mushroom moisture monitoring, while, on the other hand, minimizing the labor
and time required for farmers to irrigate their fields. According to the experiment carried out, the soil moisture
sensor was quite successful in measuring moisture level and simultaneously sending real-time data to Blynk,
which is an IoT-based monitoring platform. Blynk allows users to keep track of and water the mushroom farm
from their mobile phones. In addition, the device can work offline and do automatic watering if there is no
internet connection. Among the features are a moisture level indicator and an on/off switch, which promote the
development of smart agriculture
