| Summary: | The cultivation of Grey Oyster Mushrooms is influenced by several factors such as
ambient temperature, humidity, light and ventilation. The unpredictable Malaysian
weather makes it difficult for this plant to get the optimum temperature to grow
healthy and avoid bacteria. Hence, the development of an Automatic
Environmental Control System of Grey Mushrooms House serves to solve the
problem related to temperature and humidity for the cultivation of Grey Oyster
Mushrooms. The main objective of this study is to design the Automatic
Environmental Control System of Grey Oyster Mushrooms House, to develop a
system to control the temperature, humidity and water level tank in the house of
grey oyster mushrooms and to test the functionality of the Automatic
Environmental Control System of Grey Mushrooms House. This study was
developed by using the Waterfall Model which involves five phases. The five
phases are Requirement Analysis Phase, Design Phase, Operation Phase, Testing
Phase and Maintenance Phase. Besides, the Automatic Environmental Control
System of Grey Mushrooms House successfully detects and control the
temperature and humidity by using the DHT22 sensor and sends the data to the
Blynk to run the system automatically when the temperature exceeds 30˚C or the
humidity is less than 70%. This study involves the use of technology electronic
components such as WiFi Module ModeMCU ESP8266, DHT22 sensor,
Ultrasonic sensor and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). The development of the
Automatic Environmental Control System of Grey Mushrooms House might help
agropreneurs to control mushrooms house more systematically, efficiently and also
reduces the rate of damage to the mushrooms due to excessive mattering process.
The findings of the study are evidenced by confirmation from experts.
Improvements can be made by using solar energy as power and placing indicators
such as Light Emitting Diode (LED) lights and even alarms to indicate the system
is operating. |
