Construcción y automatización de un prototipo de invernadero hidropónico

Abstract

This project aims at the construction and automation of a hydroponic greenhouse prototype controlled and monitored through Internet. Presenting an alternative to traditional agriculture and an IOT (Internet of Things) application in control farming. The NFT (Nutrient Film Technique) hydroponics technique is automated, and parameters such as pH and electro conductivity of water in a collecting tank. The environmental parameters such as light intensity and temperature of the greenhouse are controlled. The prototype works locally and remotely with a wireless communication system that sends information through Internet to a database hosted on a web server. To access project information via the Internet a web server is used, with a public IP address. That server contains a web interface where you can control and monitor different parameters of the prototype also can obtain reports of the measured variables and reports of the states of the actuators. Reports are generated by variable names and dates. The database also contains information on the changes made from the web interface.
