Abstract

Agriculture has long been the primary occupation in our country, intending to improve rural household income, farm productivity, and local market demand. Due to people migrating from rural to urban areas, the Malaysian government proposes that agriculture can be done in a residential area without engaging big regions by combining plants and fish production in an integrated recirculating system known as aquaponics system. But there have hindrances in agriculture. As a result, the purpose of the project is to develop a smart aquaponics system in a small space and due to today's modern technology, it is necessary to include automation in aquaponics to reduce labour involvement. The objective of this project is to design and develop IoT based smart aquaponics system by using Arduino, to determine the growth effect of vegetable and fish distribution on the wastewater quality and reuse water respectively and monitor water level, water temperature, pH value, light and fish feeder automatically through a sensor that can be connected to the cloud. An Arduino Uno is utilised in this aquaponics system to regulate the system's input and output as well as a WiFi module as a transmitter to send the data and current situation to the mobile application. The system covers pH level, water temperature, water level, and light maintenance by using a pH sensor, water temperature sensor, water level sensor, and a light-dependent resistor (LDR) respectively. Moreover, it also automated a fish feeder as an additional feature. In the meanwhile, users can use the mobile application to monitor and manage smart aquaponics remotely. In contrast to the standalone recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), this project is unique, sustainable and environmentally friendly operational procedures in the aquaponics system to reduced environmental pollution and less water consumption which directly increases the profit of farmers.
