Controlling and Monitoring of Temperature and Humidity of Oyster Mushrooms in Tropical Climates

Abstract

Controlling the temperature and humidity of oyster mushroom cultivation is done manually by spraying air on the mushroom container so it takes a lot of time and effort. This is done to meet the requirements for growing oyster mushrooms which are strongly influenced by temperature and humidity conditions so that they can grow well. In this study, a device for controlling and monitoring the temperature and humidity of oyster mushroom cultivation was made automatically based on Arduino UNO. This tool can regulate and monitor the temperature and humidity in oyster mushroom cultivation automatically so that the temperature and humidity can be maintained without having to spend a lot of time and effort. The components used in building the automatic temperature and humidity controller for mushroom cultivation based on the Arduino UNO are the dht11 sensors, Arduino UNO, L298N driver, relay, and 16x2 I2C LCD. From the results of the tests that have been carried out, it can be concluded that the temperature and humidity control and monitoring device for automatic oyster mushroom cultivation based on Arduino UNO has been able to work well in regulating and monitoring temperature and humidity as expected.

Building an IoT-Based Oyster Mushroom Cultivation and Control System and Its Practical Learning Effects on Students

“…The last study was not building a learning media on how to cultivate oyster mushrooms based on IoT, as in the article in this study, but rather evaluating the effect of cultivation on vitamins and minerals from oyster mushrooms. Meanwhile, a tool controlling temperature and humidity in oyster mushroom cultivation based on Arduino UNO is proposed [48]. However, this previous research did not test the system's pH, temperature, and humidity accuracy like the research in this article.…”

“…Although there are relatively many previous studies related to mushroom cultivation, including research by [47], [15], [44], [40], and [14], none of them aim to be educational media tools for students as this research. Besides that, a previous study by [42] and [48] on oyster mushroom cultivation, even though it was based on IoT, has the limitation of not controlling the pH of Baglog water, but only controlling humidity and temperature of Baglog. Besides, this previous research is not a prototype model for learning media and practices for students in building IoT and learning media for mushroom cultivation, as this article does.…”

Room Temperature and Humidity Control System Using Arduino and Blynk

“…The I2C module is included when purchasing an LCD [19]. Several studies have utilized LCD 16x2 I2C in their research, such as designing a room monitoring tool based on ESP-12E, a device for controlling and monitoring the temperature and humidity of oyster mushroom cultivation, and a monitoring system for turbidity and acidbase levels of tofu industrial wastewater [20].…”
