 ABSTRACT

Internet of Things (IoT) is being applied in different areas in agriculture sector including
smart fisheries, smart poultry, etc. that allows a system to collect data through heterogeneous
sensors, analyze them to predict the situation in advance, make appropriate decision,
notification to user and finally take actions through actuators automatically. The application
of IoT in a poultry farm allows real-time monitoring of the context of the farm through
notification to email, predict the context in advance, advise right decision at the right time
that saves poultry lives, minimize the loss, improve the productivity and quality. Monitoring
weather of the poultry farm is one of the important issues that requires monitoring the status
of the temperature, humidity, etc. that has impact on raw materials and quality of food, health
condition of the poultry, feeding in time, food management etc. Considering the fact,
improvement of the management and increase the efficiency of the farm, an IoT based
weather monitoring system for a poultry farm has been proposed in this report. DHT11 is
used to measure the temperature and humidity in the proposed system. The collected data is
transmitted to the server, stored in a database and compared with threshold values
continuously. If the stream of data crosses the threshold values and remains higher the system
sends alert message to the email and signal to a buzzer. To validate, the proposed system has
been implemented that sends alert message to the email and signal to buzzer successfully.

Introduction

In agricultural field modern technologies are applied in present days to make the system more
versatile, automatic and user friendly. Smart farming is a high technology system of growing
food cleanly in a sustainable way and increase the quantity and quality of the products. There
are two types of conceptions in smart farming. They are smart agriculture and AgriTech. Our
project is under smart agriculture as it is related with the application of Internet of thing (IoT)
which can be utilize in various devices to connect with each other. IoT helps in agriculture to
introduce with advance sensors that can be utilize to connect with the cloud via
cellular/satellite network [1]. This helps us to know the real time data from the sensor and
make effective decisions.

The main purpose of controlling the humidity and temperature in modern day poultry
production is to produce a healthier bird which has the capability to grow more efficiently
and to adopt themselves to live in the most desirable and least stressful environment. Healthy
chicken grows rapidly and have a good demand in the market. In poultry farm too little
moisture can cause dehydration and respiratory illness where excessive moisture can lead to
caking and ammonia [2]. Heat stress occur which effects on the behavior, welfare, growth
and immunity of the poultry which decreases the egg production as well as lower the quality
of egg and meat which causes a massive economic loss. This also lower the reproductive
performance and reduces feed intake which led to lower the body weight [3].

The application of IoT act as a blessing as it makes a great contribution to the development of
modern poultry farming. IoT helps to store the data in one place so that farmers can easily
check the data, analysis them and help to make the right decision. This helps to reduce the
risk in business and improve business efficiency. IoT makes a better control over the internal
operations which reduces production loss and ensures a good quality of products to the
customer. In poultry farm it is very necessary to maintain the correct temperature and
humidity in order to save the food, keep the medicine and chemicals from damage and for
many other purpose.
Our project used DHT11 sensors connected with NodeMCU module to collect the
temperature and humidity in the poultry farm. This helps the farmer to know the weather
condition of the poultry farm which can effects the quantity and quality of the poultry. IoT
helps us to know the real time weather condition by using the sensors data which are
collected from the environment [4]. The sensor monitors the condition of the poultry farm
and sends the data to the ThingSpeak, which eliminates the physical presence of the farmer in
the farm. They can access the data from anywhere using the ThingSpeak. The system gives
more focused in precision farming which is one of the most famous application in IoT
agriculture. This helps the farmer to generate the data that is collected from the sensors and
analyze that information to take intelligent and quick decision. If any disturbing weather
condition are found such as the temperature crosses the threshold limit it starts the buzzer on
and send an alert email to the user email address. The alert system helps to notify the farmer
about the impacts of increasing temperature so they can take essential steps. The database in
the system helps to store the data that are collected from the sensors. This helps the farmer to
make better decision related to poultry farm to maintain the quality and enhancing the
product quantity.

The DHT11 sensor used in the system is light weight. It responds instantly, no anti-
interference and give extremely accurate results. It is an ultra-low cost digital temperature and
humidity sensor with a high cost performance advantage. It gives a high reliability and
excellent long term stability [5]. The NodeMCU is a low cost, low energy consumed module
which is integrated to support for Wi-Fi network. This is flexible to design and operate.
Previously used existing model system were costly and human involvement were required.
This developed system is budget friendly and does not require any human engage. The
system is easy to operate and no training is required.
 Chapter 2
Literature Review

The necessity of providing a healthy environment in a poultry farm is very essential. This
helps to maintain the quality of the poultry products and improve the work condition. Hence,
related literature has been reviewed in journals, articles and research papers.

The Internet of thing (IoT) main concept is to connect different electronic devices together in
a network and collecting data from these devices. The values can be shared and uploaded in
any cloud services for processing, analysis and. It builds a communication between human
and device and also between devices [6]. The required project measures temperature and
humidity. Before IoT was introduced the wireless connection between user and the system
were made online by using RF, ZigBee and Bluetooth. This technology was slow in
communication, short range distance, small amount of data transmission [7]. The purpose of
the system in this paper is to monitor the weather condition of the industry and to view the
data from any place in the world using Wi-Fi [8].

The Poultry farm uses computer network technology to monitor and control the temperature
and humidity of the farm. IoT platform is used to save time, increase poultry production,
improve quality of meat and egg and also to provide healthy environment. The report focus
on the wireless sensor network in the poultry farm. The temperature and humidity is
maintained by the wireless sensor network. This maintain the quality and quantity of the
chicken [9]. Poultry birds can tolerate temperature up to 30 degrees Celsius. So it is very
important to maintain the temperature in all seasons.

NodeESP8266 is a Wi-Fi module which is implemented for internet connection in the circuit.
[10]. To measure temperature and humidity DHT11 sensors have been used. It is an 8-bit
microcontroller which has high accuracy, excellent performance, gives fast feedback and
doesn’t interrupt [10]. It has a motive of using low power which is beneficial for both
economically and technologically.
In the manufacturing factory measuring temperature and humidity is very essential [11]. It
helps us by providing a safety place to work and also for the products. Using the help of IOT
it will keep updating the user about the atmospheric changes in the factory. Different kinds of
Arduino are available based on different microcontrollers [12]. In this project a
microcontroller (ESP8266) has been used which connects the entire system by connecting
with the sensor. Microcontroller helps in operating the sensors and to receive the data. After
processing the data, it is then updated to the internet [8].

Data is collected and shared over the network [13]. Based on Sensor Technology their basic
algorithm is ingrained in four different ways in a software. This helps from building the
connection with the sensors to transmitting the data over the internet. They are (i) Main
thread
(ii) Measurement thread (iii) Transfer thread (iv) Send thread. Main thread helps in
controlling accommodations with other sensors. Measurement thread obtains setting from
Main thread. Transfer thread transmit data from sensors to microcontroller [14]. The paper
used NodeMCUin a Smart weather monitoring and real time alert system using IoT. This
allows the sensors connectedwith the microcontroller to receive the data after the data is
processed and analyze. This processed data is stored and transferred in a website function
[15]. IoT platform transmits data to the cloud from any internet device.

According to the research it has been found that there are many IoT based weather
monitoring systems. They have multi features that can be implemented in the system for
future work like cameras, motion sensors etc. Weather monitoring system is a high cost big
project in industry. But this project is a budget friendly and effective system which can save a
huge amount of money. This project is beneficial for both small- and large-scale industries.

IoT based weather monitoring system for poultry farm

Agriculture and poultry farm plays a vital role in the economic growth of a country. In
Bangladesh poultry farms enhance the production of meat and egg which can meet up to 68
to 64% of national demand [16]. The modern technology act as a catalyst which helps the
farmer to enhance their production with good quality and quantity. IoT based weather
monitoring system act as a blessing for poultry farm as it has the capability to monitor the
environmental parameter temperature and humidity automatically.

3.1 Proposed System Architecture

Fig.1: Proposed system architecture

In the Figure 1 the proposed system architecture shows the flow of the project system. When
DHT11 sensor is connected with the module NodeMCU it transmits the reading from the
sensor and send it to the server using the NodeMCU gateway. The functionality of the system
is schemed under NodeMCU which acts as the main processing unit where sensor is
connected with it [17]. The server send data to the cloud using the internet which sends
notification of different poultry farming method to the farmer. This helps to build a
community in the cloud where farmers can share their experience and knowledge with each
other. Every time the sensor sends the data it is compared with the threshold value and
monitored carefully. Once the temperature crosses the threshold value it sends sent an alert
email notification to the user email from the server and send signal to the buzzer. The system
helps the farmer to take necessary steps to control the temperature in the poultry farm [18].
The main motive of the system is to give the user correct reading of the sensor whenever they
are accessing the web server from anywhere.

In figure 2 the flow chart diagram elaborates the functionality of the working model. This
explains the data transmission in the system from the sensor to the server and then to the
cloud system. The procedure of sending alert email notification to the user email address and
sending signal to the buzzer is also explain in details.
3.2 Required Hardware and Software Tools:

DHT11 Humidity and Temperature Sensors:

It is used to measure the temperature and humidity. As it is cheaper and not complex so it is
easier to use. Inside DHT11 there is a thermistor and humidity sensing component. Two
electrodes are present in humidity sensing components with moisture holding substance.
DHT11 using the capacitive humidity sensor discloses the digital signal on the data pin [19].
It is popular for absorbing low power. So, no extra power is needed. It takes less than 5
seconds to respond. The humidity measuring range is between 20% ~ 90% RH and
temperature measuring range is between 0 ~ +50; During the conversion of data into digital
form it uses 2.5mA which is the maximum current. The Humidity measuring accuracy is
±5.0% RH and Temperature measuring accuracy is ±2.0. The size of DHT11 is 15.5mm x
12mm x 5.5mm [20]. After every 2 seconds new data can be retrieved. One of the major
advantages is it has a long transmission system. The sensor has sometimes three or four pins-
VCC, GND, Data Pin and a not connected pin. To correspond with the microcontroller, the
sensor uses a pull up resistor of 5k to 10k ohms. It is used in the environment monitoring, in
controlling climate automatically, in the local weather station and others.

Arduino IDE:
The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is an open source software for an
electronic platform to run both hardware and software. It is simple and easy for the user to
use. For its easy accessible use, it has been used in many different projects. There are some
benefits of using this software. It is much cheaper than another microcontroller platform. As
it has cross platform so it runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. It
has a flexible and clear programming environment. For input and output procedure the
Arduino IDE provides many software libraries. It supports both C, C++ language though the
program is built in JAVA. Users can access the software both in online and offline mode.

IFTTT
It is a platform where it brings services of different apps and devices together. By signing up
into an IFTTT account it helps to perform the task in a specific way. It also creates chains of
simple conditional statements, called applets which are connected within other web services
such as Gmail, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram. The services run on web-based applications,
on iOS and Android. IFTTT helps in better functionality, improved search function, pre-
bundled applet suites and others.

 Chapter 4
Implementation

The design in figure 12 comprises the internet based system which include sensor,
NodeMCU and passive buzzer to complete the system. The system can generate real time
based data to the cloud and automatically takes the reading from the environment such as
humidity and temperature. The research is focused on the integration of wireless sensor
and mobile network. The system will help to control the temperature and humidity for the
benefits of the product.

4.1 Implementation Architecture

NodeMCU ESP8266 is an inexpensive Wi-Fi microchip which can act as a
microcontroller [20]. The system uses a DHT11 sensor to measure the temperature and
humidity. The sensor and the buzzer are connected with the NodeMCU by using the
jumper wires. Once the code is uploaded in the Arduino IDE Software the system
becomes active. Microcontroller gets the analog value from the sensor and converts it into
digital value. The data is send to the server and stored in the database. The value is then
shown in the serial monitor and in Thing Speak where it is plotted in the form of graphs
with present date and time. The changes of the reading are shown in a separate dialog
box. When the temperature is above 30 it will send the alert email to the user email
address and immediately will send a signal to the buzzer as well. The data is stored in a
separate database which is created using MySQL. The phpMyAdmin is used to store the
data manually in the MySQL database.
 Fig.12: Implementation architecture

In figuare 13 we can see DHT11 is directly connected with the NodeMCU. The
ground connection of DHT11 is connected with the GND of NodeMCU. The data out of
DHT11 is connected with the D3 of NodeMCU. The VCC of DHT11 is connected with the
3V of NodeMCU. The connection of Passive buzzer is also shown in the diagram clearly.
This states the electric circuit is simple and easy to understand. It explains all the connections
with the components clearly and gives a visual display of the system.

Fig.13: Circuit Diagram

4.2 Database Application
Database is created using the “XAMPP” in “MySQL” in the “phpmyadmin”. Here the data
can be inserted manually to keep it safe and secure. The database gives an extra precaution
from not to lose any data. The database has the ID, date and time, reading of humidity and
temperature. This data can be useful to find the humidity and temperature in the factory or in
the industry. Extra precautions can be taken where humidity and temperature is higher than
other places to keep the machineries, products and environment healthy. So the recorded data
plays an important role and it becomes very easy to find out any value at any time.

Fig.14: Database
4.3 Notification to Email:
For an alert message first we have to sign in to the IFTTT account and create an applet. Then
go to “My Service” and select “Webhook”. From there we have to go to the “Documentation”
and in the “event” we write down “High_Alert_Message” and click “Test it”. After that we
sign in to ThingSpeak and choose ThingHTTP. From here we create a new ThingHTTP and
fill up with required details information. Here we place the URL from the IFTTT and
Channel ID in the body which build a path connection. Then go the the react and create a new
react. Here we give our threshold value, condition type which is numeric, choose the option
and save it. After that every time the threshold value is crossed an alert message is sent to the
user email.

Fig.15: Notification alert to email

Experimental Results and Discussion

NodeMCU has been used in the system and is programmed to detect the humidity and
temperature every seconds. The code is run in the Arduino IDE and the reading is sent to the
serial monitor and ThingSpeak. In the given below, image value in the Serial monitor of
Arduino IDE is shown.

Fig.16: Serial monitor

Figure 17 and Figure 18 discusses is the interface in the ThingSpeak where the value is
shown in the web browser. The humidity and temperature is shown in the two separate graphs
containing two individual dialog boxes where the numeric value of the reading is shown.
Every time the value changes that is updated in the dialog box as shown in Figure 19.

Fig.17: ThingSpeak Temperature Graph

Fig.18: ThingSpeak Humidity Graph

 Fig.19: ThingSpeak Dialog Box

In the experiments reading of the temperature in degree Celsius and humidity in percentage
were taken from the sensor for different locations. A specific time periods were followed for
detecting humidity and temperature level for different time of the day. For each different
place it has been monitored for an hour after every five minutes to see the changes in
humidity and temperature and then the value has been average and inserted to plot the graph.

In figure 20 for location 1 the value for humidity and temperature is higher than figure 21 for
location 2 as the sun was direct and the temperature is cooperatively higher than other areas.
It has been found that the functionality of the system runs well and gives readings
correspondingly. From here it can be clearly understood the sensor can easily intake the
temperature and humidity percentage from the atmosphere.

Different threshold values for temperature were set to see the effects in alert email which is
send to the user email address. So, it has been found that whenever the system crosses the
threshold value it will always sends an alert email notification to the respective user email.
So, from here we can understand the functionality of the system is not hampered by the
different threshold value and the system is effective.
 Chapter 6
Future work

The system has many opportunities to implement various ways to make it more versatile and
unique. In the future, we can add a pressure sensor, rain sensor to get more information of the
weather. We can also add LED light and buzzer as an alert system. When the temperature
will cross the threshold limit LED light will start blinking and the buzzer will start on. The
system can also be equipped with a motion sensor or camera which can act as a security
guard in the poultry farm. If there is any unauthorized access of people it can sense it and
send an alert email notification to the user. The system can also use mobile SMS system for
sending alert notification.

Conclusion

IoT is an innovative technology especially in poultry farming. This helps to change from the
routine of traditional farming into smart farming. It monitors continuously environmental
parameters like humidity and temperature to improve health and growth of the chicks and
chicken. Using IoT helps the farmer to monitor the internal environment of poultry farm and
get all details of the farm from anywhere and anytime. Excessive temperature and humidity
can cause many problems in the raw materials, products, foods and many other major sectors.
If this is not observed carefully it can bring problems like giving birth to many
microorganisms, growth of poultry hampers, quality and quantity of meat and egg decreases
and many other. The system helps in giving the readings properly with accurate results. The
alert message makes the system more beneficial because it aware farmers from any sudden
increase in the temperature and helps them to take necessary steps. The separate database
stored for the system makes it more helpful, so that it can prevent data from getting lost. The
system is both environment and cost friendly. It does not emit any harmful radiation and does
not affect the environment. The system functionality and performance has a good satisfaction
which makes it more effective and long lasting. The data collected in the system is based on
real time measurements of temperature and humidity.
