ABSTRACT
This paper describes the design and implementation of an automated aquaponics system in the framework of Internet of Things. The implemented system enables remote monitoring
deployed in the aquaponics system (one in the aquaculture tank and other in the growbed). Each sensor node consists of an Arduino Uno, several sensors and an ESP8266-01 Wi-Fi transceiver. The Wireless Sensor Network reports the sensor readings to the ThingSpeak IoT platform via the Wi-Fi for real-time monitoring purpose. An arduino-based control of water level in the aquaculture tank is also provided to maintain optimum water level. In addition, there is an SD-card data-logger for storing the sensor data into a microSD card for future analysis. The farmers can thus perform an analysis of the important parameters at different stages so as to seek better farming strategies.
