Abstract

The integration of technological advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technology has revolutionized agricultural practices, especially in poultry farming. Traditional chicken farming and incubation methods that rely on human monitoring and control often result in unstable conditions that negatively impact chicken health and hatchability. Challenges include environmental factors such as temperature fluctuations and inadequate humidity control, which lead to health problems for chickens and reduced hatching success of hatching eggs. Additionally, reliance on manual intervention limits efficiency and scalability for small-scale farmers. To address these challenges, a prototype model was developed that uses IoT sensors to monitor the environment inside incubators. The hatching process used a temperature control system with heating and cooling elements to simulate natural conditions and improve hatching success rates. The lamp and fan are used in this project to provide the egg with the appropriate temperature and humidity. The temperature and humidity of this egg incubator will be detected by the DHT11 sensor and shown on the smartphone app Blynk. This method includes remote monitoring to ensure optimal conditions for poultry health and egg hatching. As a result, the average temperature range inside the incubator is from 37℃ to 38℃. When it becomes 39℃, the light bulb will be off while the relative humidity (RH) range is from 55% RH to 65% RH for optimal conditions. This project will become user-friendly for all small-scale farmers as it is easy to maintain.
