Smart Aquaponics and Hydroponics Monitoring Using IOT

II. The “Smart Aquaponics and Hydroponics Monitoring System Using IoT” integrates advanced IoT technologies with sustainable farming techniques to optimize organic crop growth and fish farming through efficient resource management. The system employs an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller to monitor critical environmental parameters such as water pH, temperature, humidity, and tank water levels using sensors including the pH sensor, DHT11, temperature sensor, and ultrasonic sensor. Data collected from these sensors is displayed on an LCD and uploaded to ThingSpeak via Node MCU for real-time remote monitoring. In case of abnormal conditions, the GSM module alerts users via text messages, enabling timely interventions. Three water pumping motors, controlled by relays, maintain continuous water circulation, ensuring the optimal transfer of nutrients between the aquaponic components. This smart, automated system reduces the need for manual oversight, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of aquaponics and hydroponics farming. With its user-friendly and scalable design, it serves as a practical solution for modern agricultural practices. The provided hardware kit ensures easy implementation without requiring external arrangements.
