Sustainable gardens for smart cities using low-power communications

This paper presents a study on smart gardens in the context of smart cities, a topic that has been gaining more and more interest from the public due to the numerous problems that are felt both in terms of the environment and in terms of food consumption which, due to population increase and migration towards cities, has become a sustainability problem as agricultural production is moving further away from the consumers thus making it harder to obtain fresh good such as fruits and vegetables. Using IoT combined with communication technologies such as LoRa that have Low-power and wide-area network capabilities, it is possible to create systems that enhance sustainability through a more efficient use of resources while also making its users be more involved with the plant cultivation process and, therefore, develop more empathy towards this topic and nature in general. Several smart garden systems and contexts in which those systems are implemented will be analyzed to understand what can be done within this research field.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

Remote Monitoring, Managing & Disease Detection of Plantation using IoT framework

Living in a country having an Agrarian economy, one of the fundamental objectives of this paper is to cater to the urban class, who because of their busy schedules don’t indulge in gardening activities. This IoT Application enables the user to remotely access and irrigate the garden, become cognizant of its current state, monitor the surrounding environment of the garden to steer clear of potential danger and obtain graphical representations of the data collected from various sensors. Further, this system allows the user to obtain a live video feed of the plants, obtain information on the ideal requirements of the plant and detect the possibility of any diseases through leaves. At the application level, a web-app is designed and implemented that can be installed on users phone, thereby bestowing the users with the power to access the system at their fingertips

COVID-19 fever symptom detection based on IoT cloud

This paper presents a new method of detection COVID-19 fever symptoms depending on IoT cloud services to solve the higher time delay of checking the crowded clients that enter public or private agencies which can lead to a dangerous field to spread the disease. An automatically checking process is suggested using a practical experiment is developed using (ESP8266 Node MCU, Ultrasonic (SR-04), RFID (RC522), human body temperature (MAX30205) sensors, and ThingSpeak platform). Where Node MCU is open-source hardware used to transmit the received data (human temperature sensor) from the (MAX30205) to the cloud platform (ThingSpeak) then alert the monitoring manager user when the collected data reached a critical value that specified previously and automatically take action to solve this situation. At the same time, the cloud platform will provide a graphical representation of the received data to display it using different monitoring devices such as (computers, mobiles, and others)

Iot-based intelligent irrigation management and monitoring system using arduino

Plants, flowers and crops are living things around us that makes our earth more productive and beautiful. In order to growth healthy, they need water, light and nutrition from the soil in order to effect cleaning air naturally and produce oxygen to the world. Therefore, a technology that manage to brilliantly control plants watering rate according to its soil moisture and user requirement is proposed in this paper. The developed system included an Internet of Things (IoT) in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) environment where it manages and monitors the irrigation system either manually or automatically, depending on the user requirement. This proposed system applied Arduino technology and NRF24L01 as the microprocessor and transceiver for the communication channel, respectively. Smart agriculture and smart lifestyle can be developed by implementing this technology for the future work. It will save the budget for hiring employees and prevent from water wastage in daily necessities

Adaptive Control of IoT/M2M Devices in Smart Buildings using Heterogeneous Wireless Networks

With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) are becoming essential for many applications. One of the most emblematic IoT/M2M applications is smart buildings. The current Building Automation Systems (BAS) are limited by many factors, including the lack of integration of IoT and M2M technologies, unfriendly user interfacing, and the lack of a convergent solution. Therefore, this paper proposes a better approach of using heterogeneous wireless networks consisting of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and Mobile Cellular Networks (MCNs) for IoT/M2M smart building systems. One of the most significant outcomes of this research is to provide accurate readings to the server, and very low latency, through which users can easily control and monitor remotely the proposed system that consists of several innovative services, namely smart parking, garden irrigation automation, intrusion alarm, smart door, fire and gas detection, smart lighting, smart medication reminder, and indoor air quality monitoring. All these services are designed and implemented to control and monitor from afar the building via our free mobile application named Raniso which is a local server that allows remote control of the building. This IoT/M2M smart building system is customizable to meet the needs of users, improving safety and quality of life while reducing energy consumption. Additionally, it helps prevent the loss of resources and human lives by detecting and managing risks.Comment: Accepted in IEEE Sensors Journa

Smart Greenhouse Design for Strawberry Cultivation in Pandanrejo, Batu City

Batu City, which is famous as a tourist city, is not only an urban area. Most of the Batu city area is a rural area, especially the northern area which is included in the Bumiaji sub-district. As a tourist area, Batu City has a large enough economic potential to improve the welfare of its people. Most of the people of Batu city who live in rural areas are fruit and vegetable farmers. Pandanrejo village in Bumiaji sub-district is an example of a strawberry-producing village in Batu city. Various problems are faced by strawberry farmers in Pandanrejo village. One of them is related to the uncertain weather conditions in their village. The ITS Physics department team provides solutions related to these weather conditions with an innovative climate conditioning technology that can be applied in agriculture. This technology is a smart greenhouse in which there is control of environmental conditions for strawberry plants. With the application of smart greenhouse technology, it is expected to increase the productivity of strawberries and the welfare of the farming community of Pandanrejo village, Batu city

SISTEM KENDALI PENYIRAM BIBIT CABAI OTOMATIS BERBASIS IOT DENGAN KONTROL APLIKASI BLYNK

Soil moisture is the main aspect that needs to be considered so that plants are maintained and grow well. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical devices connected to the internet, enabling them to collect and share data. This research produces a system that will maintain soil moisture for chili plant seeds at the ideal range and can be controlled remotely via a device connected to the Internet (IoT), using a soil moisture sensor to detect the level of soil dryness. If the soil is detected as dry, the pump will activate and spray until the humidity in the soil increases. Once the humidity in the soil increases to the upper limit, the pump will automatically stop. However, on the other hand, if the soil is initially detected as wet, the pump will remain inactive and the pump will be active when the moisture in the soil is dry. The chili plant watering monitoring system can be carried out at close range using an LCD and remotely using the Internet of Things via the Blynk application. This system can maintain the soil moisture percentage value at 65% with the time needed to increase soil moisture from dry conditions is 2 minutes 11 second
